Answer 1

This is most likely related to the gcc you are using. Have you tired to use non llvm gcc compiler? You will most likely find it under /Xcode4/usr/bin/gcc-4.2

so:

$> export CC=/Xcode4/user/bin/gcc-4.2 && rvm install 1.8.7

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you have a new install of XCode, you'll need to:

1.) open it

2.) go to: Preferences>Downloads>Command Line Tools

3.) install the Command Line Tools

4.) then run the following in Terminal:

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang

Answer 3

I used homebrew to install GCC-4.2, then symlinked it from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin. This fixed this issue for me.

Answer 4

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang

Answer 5

Consider installing OSX GCC, it will solve many of the problems occurred from Xcode installation.

Answer 6

I had to manually download the file yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz and place it in the proper directory for rvm.

The failure for me was curl could not get the file and the error had to do with a failed certificate check. I have GCC-10.7-v2.pkg installed so the C compiler can do its work because my newer version of Xcode did not have GCC included.
