Segmentation fault in (RVM) REE installation

Ruby needs to play nice?

It's helpful to install gcc using mac ports. I know a lot of people don't like mac ports but if you wanna avoid all the issues with llvm just use --with-gcc and/or --with-cxx as in the example below.

First install gcc:
( There are other non-apple version and newer gcc versions in ports if you prefer)

Then just pass rvm configure options

of course you can use --with-gcc=clang in a lot of cases.

@maletor

if is not Ruby so much as it is llvm Apple's replacement to the tried and true gcc compiler.

A combination of the above discussed options worked for me.

sudo port -v install apple-gcc42

and then

export CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2

then finally

rvm reinstall ree-1.8.7-2011.02 --force
