Update ruby version on MAC

Question

I'm trying to update ma ruby version. I'm with ruby 1.8.7 and I would like to install 2.1.0. I just installed rvm, rbenv, brew and gem.

But when I try to do

$ rbenv install 2.1.0.

I get an error about clang. I don't get the point between clang and ruby

Could you please help me?

Error:

$ rbenv install 2.1.0
Downloading ruby-2.1.0.tar.gz...

You need to install the Developer Tools command-line tools in order to build Ruby. As one option, you can install Xcode from the App Store, and Xcode will let you install the command line tools if they aren't automatically installed with your version.
