Help Installing Ruby

I have been putting off learning ruby because of how difficult it seems to be to install all the different dependencies. It would be brilliant if you could just run one thing and it installed what you need. Anyway I'm giving it a go as per the ruby lesson so far I have installed.

  • xcode
  • command line tools for xcode
  • homebrew
  • rvm

I now get the following error:

You requested building with '/usr/bin/gcc-4.2' but it is not in your path.

Now I made sure to add export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 in my bash_profile above the [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM$ line of code which was automatically saved for me.

Is this lesson out of date or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

I am in the same boat. I was on a roll with teamtreehouse now I have not coded in a week because of the ruby installation process.
