I am having trouble installing rubies with a multi-user RVM installation

Question

I followed the instructions on the RVM website on how to do a multi-user installation. When I try installing a version of ruby, I get the following:

$ /usr/local/rvm$ rvm install 1.9.2
Installing Ruby from source to: /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)...

ruby-1.9.2-p290 - #fetching
