Cannot compile ruby 1.9.3
When I run
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
on Mac OSX Lion, ruby does not compile, and I get the following error in (.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p374/make.log)

How can I get ruby 1.9.3 to install on Lion?
Answer
With Xcode 4.6 I was also getting this problem. I installed the command line tools which made gcc available in /usr/bin/gcc.
I managed to get it to work using:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=gcc
NB. I dont have homebrew installed.
