Rails Segmentation Fault on Mac OSX with RVM

Question

When creating a new rails app, I get the following error: ``` /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:799: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0] ``` All the rails files appear to be generated, but the error above is still there. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

It looks to me like a problem with LLVM GCC, try with GNU GCC.

The easiest way to do that is to install osx-gcc-installer and reinstall ruby:

```
rvm reinstall 1.9.3
```

EDIT2: it is also possible to use gcc-4.2 available via HomeBrew/MacPorts, install CommandLineTools and follow instructions from `rvm requirements`.

EDIT 1: I've googled around and come across this http://www.seqmedia.com/2012/05/08/frustrations-abound-rvm-vs-macports-and-the-bug-segmentation-fault/ - and I remember it was already mentioned to me `openssl` in OSX is broken, the easiest way to check it would be:

```
rvm get stable
rvm autolibs enable
rvm reinstall 1.9.3
```
