Question

I’ve been searching around on how to install it through the terminal on my mac. I’m using snow leopard.
When I use the command: rvm install 1.9.3
I’ve also followed the other procedures that led me up to this to install, right now the current version is 1.8.3

Error running ‘./configure –prefix=”/Users/jose/.rvm/usr” ‘, please read /Users/jose/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/yaml/configure.log

Then it mentions something about xcode and autoreconf was not found in the PATH.

Error running ‘patch -F 25 -p1 -N -f <“/Users/jose/.rvm/patches/ruby/1.9.3/p125/xcode-debugopt-fix-e34840.diff”‘,please read /Users/jose/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/patch.apply.xcode-debugopt-fix-r34840.log
rvm requires autoreconf to install the selected ruby interpreter however autoreconf was not found in the PATH

I been trying for awhile now, and found out i need to have Xcode for snow leopard which I cannot find. So my last option will be to upgrade to lion but I don’t know about upgrading. Kind of scared to upgrade and everything becomes buggy.

Just to close it off, I found out I had to push back my date on my mac to sometime before January 2012 and install xcode. After installation you can set the time back to normal and you should be good to go. But I got a copy of xcode from my instructor which is pretty cool.
