There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

One of the project i am working on says it needs this version of ruby but i am getting this error.

I have searched all over the internet and found solutions like

rvm get stable/head/master
rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p551

Here.

but the result is the same.

I would really appreciate the help.
