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

[Behrang Saeedzadeh]

Jeff,

I like the convenience of managing Rubies and Gemsets with RVM. As I work
on multiple RoR projects, each requiring a different version of Ruby and a
different set of gems, RVM helps me a lot.

Anyway, thanks to all the replies and the suggestions, I managed to install
Ruby 1.8.7 through RVM. Here are the steps:

* Install MacPorts
* Install apple-gcc-42 via MacPorts (sudo port install apple-gcc-42)
* Install RVM (looks like the latest version is broken, use an older
version instead: bash -s -- --version 1.10.2 < <(curl -s
https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer ))
* Install Ruby 1.8.7 with this command: CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 rvm
install 1.8.7
* Enjoy!

Cheers,
