I initially tried rbenv and followed this person's issue but I ended up switching to RVM and getting this error:
Error running '__rvm_make -j4',
please read /Users/thendralprabu/.rvm/log/1622423552_ruby-2.7.2/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Here's the order of steps I attempted so far.
rvm install 2.7.2
rvm get master
rvm reinstall 2.7.2
Here's what my make file is telling me, and my errors have been pointing me in the direction of the *include statement in the makefile, telling me that the file doesn't exist and I'm not sure how to address that.
I'd use brew
and rbenv
Follow this guide

TO ruby install?
make sure to rehash.
What version of MacOS are you using?
You can try to reinstalls the header files by this command:
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
Where 10.14 is you current MacOS version.
If you on Big Sur you can try this solution.
Also you can try install ruby with this flag:
export optflags=" -Wno-nullability-completeness " && rvm install 2.7.2
PS. I think "ruby-on-rails" tag is unnecessary.
I'm very new to RoR specially on Mac. I have installed it many times on Ubuntu with RVM and I'm very comfortable with that. Here is what happened on Mac:
I went through instructions as explained here http://goo.gl/zsHcCC then when I got to the point to install Rails with " gem install rails " I got this error:
Error installing rails:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Now I want to roll-back everything and uninstall rbenv and it's ruby versions and reinstall the Ruby On Rails environment using RVM.
I tried to find how to uninstall Homebrew, RBENV and Ruby, but no success.
Thank you.

Homebrew or Rbenv are very good tools to have as a dev, I would think twice before removing either.
In this case I doubt they are at fault.
Can you confirm you have installed the GCC command line utils for OSX by running $ xcode-select --install in your terminal.
Here is a useful post explaining that process but I find that command generally works fine for me.
If this succeeds what does your $ gem install rails output next?
If you are very new you and you don't need specially the last version of Ruby. You can use Rails Installer http://railsinstaller.org/fr-FR.

I just purchased my first Mac, a 13" Air with Lion, and am coming from Linux. I'm installed RVM and my first Ruby (1.8.6), but I can't get a gem to install. Here's the input:
Ryan's Air :sudo gem install rails --version 2.0.2
Password:********
and the result:
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.6-p420/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:59: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2010-09-02) [i686-darwin11.2.0]
Ryan's Air :
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

The issue is with Lion, and I've encountered this myself on now 2 brand-new 13-inch MBP's.
What you need to do is install the OSX GCC Compilers separately.
They can be found here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer (scroll down to downloading pre-build binaries)
After downloading and running through the package installer (you should not need to install Homebrew), you need to find where the GCC folder is located. For some people, it was in /usr/bin; however, for me I found it in /Developer/usr/bin
Add this directory to your $PATH variable in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file. For me, I'm using ~/.bash_profile and added it to the end using vim.
Close your Terminal and open it again, and then echo $PATH to make sure the changes saved.
Completely uninstall that version of ruby, and install again normally:
rvm install 1.8.7
rvm use 1.8.7
If it still doesn't work, I recommend installing your version of rails using the following command as Hans specified in Why can't I install Rails on Lion using RVM?:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.8.7 --force
the CC directory would change based on where your install was. However, after adding the correct path to gcc to my $PATH variable, I did not need to do the above command.
If you were still having this problem, hope this helps.
Look at this article. It seems that you get deadlocks with your combination of old rails, sqlite and Webrick. Michael is right, try to use modern version of rails.
rvm install 1.8.7-head
This worked for me, everything else failed. I did not install the gcc specifically, just clean Xcode 4.2
I had to uninstall then reinstall ruby.
When I went to install it the installation went off without a hitch except for a strange error:
ERROR: Error running 'bunzip2 '/home/tom/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.bz2'', please read /home/tom/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p180/extract.log
Now when I go to install rails it alerts me that I'm...
Missing RVM environment file: '/home/tom/.rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.2-p180#rails3tutorial'
I need to uninstall ruby, install zlib via rvm install package zlib, then install ruby 1.9.2.
Can anyone give me a walk through. I'm completely new and utterly confused. I've searched the web but can't find a walk through that works.
run rm -rf /home/tom/.rvm/ That will delete RVM and all installed packages. Reinstall RVM using the instructions from this page https://rvm.io
I'm running into issues trying to install Rails on OS X Lion using RVM.
So far, I have done the following:
Installed Mac OS X Lion Version 10.7 (Build 11A459e).
Installed XCode 4.1 Developer Preview 5.
Installed RVM.
Installed a 1.8.7 version of Ruby via RVM using the command rvm install 1.8.7. Note: I need to be using 1.8.7 and not 1.9.2.
Switched to the 1.8.7 version of Ruby using the command rvm 1.8.7.
Created a new gemset using the command rvm gemset create rails3.
Switched to the new gemset using the command rvm use 1.8.7#rails3.
To install Rails I ran the command gem install rails but I got the following error:
/Users/m/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p334/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60: [BUG] Segmentation fault
The same error happens when trying to run any gem command so I don't think it's really a problem with Rails.
Judging by the links below, I don't seem to be the only person having this issue:
http://twitter.com/#!/pingles/status/66261101351927809
and https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues/1058
Fixed it!
The answer was actually on one of the links I posted above. Before installing a version of ruby (rvm install 1.8.7) I needed to run "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2". With that in place, everything ran smoothly.
If you don't want to have CC permanently exported, you can do CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.8.7
If you have already installed ruby 1.8.7. Just do CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm reinstall 1.8.7
If you have installed Xcode 4.2, it actually doesn't install non-LLVM gcc anymore, so you have to add it. For some reason downgrading to 4.1 after you've installed 4.2 doesn't work correctly (at least it didn't for me and others have had similar issues).
After quite a bit of thrashing, this is what finally worked for me:
Install Xcode 4.2 from App Store
Install darwin gcc using the OSX gcc installer
Install REE making sure you remove any vestiges of previous attempts:
Close any open terminal windows, open a fresh one and
rvm remove ree
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
rvm install ree
This worked for me with rvm 1.8.6, OS X 10.7.2 and gcc-4.2 version 4.2.1 (Apple build 5666).
If you have already installed Xcode 4.1, resist the urge to upgrade to 4.2 and you should be okay.
If that still doesn't work add --force.
So this becomes:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.8.7 --force
Make sure that you remove 1.8.7 if you already installed it before using "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" by doing "rvm remove 1.8.7"
I had the same issue on my system. I installed the Xcode command line tools from Apple which ships with LLVM compiler and without an LLVM free one.
Ruby 1.8.7 won't work with an LLVM compiler not even with CC=clang, so installing an LLVM free gcc solves the problem.
There are multiple options listed here:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Custom-GCC-and-cross-compilers
Long story short, install GCC v4.2 with Homebrew:
brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/master/apple-gcc42.rb
and then install ruby 1.8.7:
CC=gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.8.7
Instead of "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" do "export CC=gcc" (xCode 4.2.x should be installed).
Check which version of gcc you have like this:
ls -Al `which gcc-4.2`
I followed the instructions here:
http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/27985816073/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-riding-a-mountain-lion
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install apple-gcc42
Then reinstall:
Check again what your path to gcc is (to use for CC=):
ls -Al `which gcc-4.2`
(optional) You can set this in your .bashrc for example:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
(optional) remove any old version of ruby
rvm remove 1.8.7
Then:
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm --verify-downloads 1 reinstall 1.8.7-p357 --without-tcl --without-tk
or if you have set CC in your profile
rvm --verify-downloads 1 reinstall 1.8.7-p357 --without-tcl --without-tk
Note the flags on the rvm install. I had trouble verifying the checksum on the ftp server and some problems with tck and what not. You may be able to omit those flags.
Also: you might need to remove an old version of your gemset:
rvm gemset delete <gemset>
Then
gem install bundler
bundle install
Hope this helps.
Using macport and ruby-1.9.x version.
I did successfully install rails with ruby gem.
I have same problem only for arch x86_64, when I comment line in my ~/.rvmrc
rvm_archflags="-arch x86_64"
Open a new terminal and tried to install ruby-1.8.7 again
rvm install 1.8.7
It was successful.
If you're using RVM in a development workflow, I added a fix in an .rvmrc file for OS X Lion.

This is not related to RVM, but if what you are looking for is a local development environment for Lion you may want to give a try to RubyStack It is a free, open source all-in-one installer for Apache, MySQL, Ruby, Rails, etc. It does not require compilation and it is self-contained so if you do not like it you can simply remove the installation directory and you are done. Disclaimer: I'm one of the RubyStack developers :)
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.8.7 did not work for me, I used CC=/usr/bin/gcc rvm install 1.8.7 and it did (checking with "which gcc")
Even with all the other suggestions on this page I was still getting segfaults and getting frustrated, so I said "screw it!" and use the system-provided Ruby 1.8.7:
rvm use system
You need to use sudo for installing gems, but still waay less headache.
My solution was to override the /usr/bin/gcc symlink in the terminal. Here's how I did it:
https://plus.google.com/101970693023462019144/posts/eYVLvMCqTmc
This not only fixed my RVM installation, but also made sure that installing gems with native extensions (like rmagick) work.
