Making rvm gemsets work under OS X Lion with XCode 4.2

November 16th, 2011

Running Xcode 4.2 on OS X will cause issues with RVM. Here are details of the issues and fix.The process takes no more than 5 minutes in total.

Issue

gem install bundler
/Users/me/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-darwin11.1.0]

Abort trap: 6

Fix

  1. Install Xcode 4.2
  2. Install the gcc standalone compiler from https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer (which replaces Xcode)
  3. Add “export CC=gcc-4.2″ to your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent (don’t forget to reload it)
  4. Run “rvm implode” then re-install rvm http://beginrescueend.com/
