make: *** [.rbconfig.time] Abort trap: 6

Edit: Thanks for all your help guys :), finally figured it out. Here’s the sparknotes version of what I did:

(If you’re unfamiliar with the command line, http://jewelrybox.unfiniti.com/ is a godsend).

  1. Install RVM (https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ )
    It manages multiple versions of Ruby at the same time on one comp (mac/linux only). Makes folders that different versions of Ruby can work independently in (from what I understand).
  2. Get XCode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ )
    Needed to compile code together. But, you also need gcc, which doesn’t come packaged with the latest version of XCode. Soo….

  3. Went here (https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action ) and downloaded “Command Line Tools For XCode” Simple and straightforward to run.

  4. Installed Macports (http://www.macports.org/install.php ) so that I could…

  5. Install make (port install make ) through the terminal. Not sure what it does, but the terminal gave and error before installing, and no error afterwards.

And NOW we’re ready to rock 🙂

run (rvm install 1.9.3)
Hang out for a bit. It takes a while.

Then (rvm 1.9.3 –default)

Then (gem install rails)
To install Ruby on Rails. This also takes a while.

Once I was set up with rails 3, I made a test app.
(rails new tester) – builds the directory
(cd tester)- moves to the new directory

(rails server) -sets up the server

Then, hop on the internet and visit (http://localhost:3000). If all goes well, you should see welcome to rails in your browser.

    I just ran into this issue myself, and it seem to be an issue with how ruby-1.9.3-125 works with clang. Once I run it against gcc it worked like a charm.

    Check to make sure you have the actual gcc installed with which gcc-4.2. If it isn’t you’ll need to install Xcode or something akin to the os x gcc installer. If it is installed running rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=gcc-4.2 is what did the trick for me.
