Installing Ruby on Mac

when i try to install via terminal i get the following error(s)

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk Referenced from: /usr/local/git/bin/git Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk Referenced from: /usr/local/git/bin/git Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

I am a complete noob with rails and have no idea what to do, where to look or anything. Any help would be appreciated

Okay so the best option for me after a few years if rails/ruby is to install via http://rvm.io/ makes managing different ruby versions easy but more importantly it's a copy paste command for any *NIX machine so any Linux distro, or Mac version it will install ruby rails and nessisary dependencies you may need.

You might wanna check it out, it's the goto way of installing rails for a few core developers and main bigwigs in the #rubyonrails official irc channel in freenode

Other then that I have no idea why the way the video showed you to install is having such an error returned, maybe google?
