Problem installing rspec-1.3.2 on Lion using RVM and ruby 1.8.6

Question

I'm trying to install rspec version 1.3.2 on OS X Lion using RVM and Ruby 1.8.6

When I install, I get the following:

$ gem install rspec -v=1.3.2
Abort trap: 6

I'm able to successfully install the same rspec version using the system ruby. I've tried to do some research into the problem, but it doesn't look like anybody has run into the same thing. Similar questions have suggested export CC=gcc-4.2 before installing ruby. I tried that (after completely blowing away RVM and reinstalling the latest version, 1.6.31 right now) but it had no effect.

Has anyone else else encountered this? Have you found a solution?

Answer 1

I installed 1.8.6 fresh with no gems and installed with verbose flag...

gem install rspec -v=1.3.2 --verbose
GET http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz
302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://production.s3.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz
200 OK
Installing gem rspec-1.3.2
Abort trap: 6

I see the problem of Abort Trap 6 seems to indicate that some dependency is missing. I was hoping that this would get resolved with the pristine command, but settled on just going down a version.

rvm gemset pristine
gem install rspec -v=1.3.1 --verbose
...
Successfully installed rspec-1.3.1
...
gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rake (0.9.2)
rspec (1.3.1)

Why must you use 1.3.2 instead of 1.3.1? Hope this helps.
