Download a cacert.pem for RailsInstaller

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)

FIX for Lion's posix_spawn_ext.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault

The segfault problem with posix_spawn is indeed caused by Lion's compiler being LLVM and not GCC by default. However, when I installed RVM, the notes suggested that on Lion you need to add export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to your shell startup file (.bashrc or .zshrc as appropriate). I did that, but it seems that's what caused problems: while ruby 1.9.2 needs you to use GCC to install it, using the same compiler for the gems apparently causes breakage.

First, you need to install XCode 4.x, which is now a free (though hefty!) download from the Mac App Store. Without that, you have no gcc, so you won't get anywhere ;-)

Next, what you need to do is clear out your rvm ruby and the associated gems (make sure you are cd'd into your octopress repository then do:

rvm remove ruby-1.9.2 --gems --archive

which will clear everything out so that you can start from scratch. Obviously, if you have other stuff you've installed for other purposes using RVM, be careful with this. If you previously had the export CC li
