Question

I am trying to install ruby 1.9.3 on my osx 10.9 operating system and I keep getting the following error :

Error running 'requirements_osx_port_update_system ruby-1.9.3-p448',
please read /Users/ramesh/.rvm/log/1383430694_ruby-1.9.3-p448/update_system.log
Requirements installation failed with status: 1.

I am using the following command to do the installtion :

 rvm install 1.9.3

The complete log is as given below :

Answer 1

Finally I found the solution. I had to install the new command line tools for osx 10.9 (Mavrics) using the following command.

sudo xcode-select --install

Then I had to run the following command to do the macports selfupdate.

sudo port -v selfupdate

Then I can successfull install ruby 1.9.3 using the following command.

rvm install 1.9.3

Hope this will be helpful to anyone facing the same dilema.
