Does MacPort come with an alternative GCC for compiling Ruby 1.8.7 with RVM

[Jeff Singleton]

Behrang, you should know that the developers of RVM did not build RVM with
Mac OS X in mind.  You will have to do a lot of manual configuration before
you can get it to work the way you want it.

It would be be easier to manually build Ruby in your $HOME folder, then
just install Gems with the MacPorts paths in your environment so that
dependencies are picked up.

I had to do this for both Ruby and a threaded Perl so that I could have my
cake and eat it to.
