Curl Certificate Error when Using RVM to install Ruby 1.9.2
RVM is running into a certificate error when trying to download Ruby 1.9.2. It looks like curl is having a certificate issue but I am not sure how to bypass it. I have included the exact error info below.
$ rvm install 1.9.2

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

How can I resolve or avoid this error?
Answer
In case any one else comes across this while trying to update to 1.9.3 (although version probably doesn't matter), check the version of rvm that you have. Wayne seems to have moved from rvm.beginrescueend.com to rvm.io. The old site's security certificate has expired, so curl's response is correct.
Updating rvm from the new site fixed this problem and allowed me to move forward.
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enabled
Update: As @rodgerdpack mentioned, the command changes and I've updated the above. In general, see https://rvm.io/ for the latest.
