Failure to install ruby 1.8.7

[miketheman]

Cleaned up rvm install, using latest XCode 4.3.2/command line tools on OSX 10.7.3.

Output:

$ rvm version

rvm 1.12.5 () by Wayne E. Seguin <wayneeseguin@gmail.com>, Michal Papis <mpapis@gmail.com> [https://rvm.io/]

Not sure where the URL is meant to be generates, but I'm guessing it's somewhere in https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/blob/master/scripts/rubygems

Any logs desired? I can provide anything.

[miketheman]

Confirmed that this affects all versions. It may have something to do with colorized output.

Halting the installation.

The first line in the output follows this colorized scheme:

(green)Retrieving rubygems-(red)1.8.(white)23

Trying rvm --color=no rubygems latest dumps same error, and still colorized output.

@miketheman Please provide

bash --version

and ensure that you are using at least 3.2.x

If using ZSH, please ensure you are using 4.3.12 but NOT 4.3.15 (See rvm notes )

Also, since you are using OS X, please read https://rvm.io/os/osx for important information regarding Xcode.

Please provide traces of all commands (remove your current 1.8.7 and reinstall using --trace) via https://gist.github.com so we can track this, ONCE you have ensured you meet the prerequisites on https://rvm.io/rvm/prerequisites and have read both:

rvm requirements

and the https://rvm.io/os/osx/ page.

Thank you.

@deryldoucette I think I may have a lead on this.

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin11)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

XCode is all in order as per requirements and notes.

My ENV has GREP_OPTIONS set to '--color=always'. Disabling this moved forward.
The line in question for rubygems is here: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/blob/master/scripts/rubygems#L94

Since there's 108 occurences of grep in rvm, it might be prevalent to export the GREP_OPTIONS setting for the context of the RVM execution, or set it to --color=never for each instance to prevent colorized output from interfering.

I've run the procedure twice - one with colorized output, one without, and provided the gist output here: https://gist.github.com/191069094a8200684595

[miketheman]

Great, thanks! I'll have to test this on a "clean" system, but it looks like it should work.
