Some of my Ruby gems stopped working after installing Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). I also installed Xcode (to get make) and get the following error when installing ruby-1.8.7-p334 with rvm. I was able to succesfully install it when running Leopard. Any help would be appreciated.

Macintosh:haloror patelc75$ rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p334

    Please check the log file at /Users/patelc75/.rvm/log/ruby-1.8.7-p334/make.log
    readline may be the issue most of the time. to fix that please do

    rvm pkg install readline

    before that you might want to do


    rvm remove 1.8.7
    rvm cleanup
