Rvm: cannot install older rubies after El Capitan upgrade on mac

Created on 31 Dec 2015  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: rvm/rvm

I cannot install 1.9.2 since upgrading to El Capitan. Will a compatible package be generated for the new OS, or is there another way to get 1.9.x installed via RVM.

error message:
RVM does not know how to build working ruby-1.9.2-p330 on OSX 10.11,

rvm install 1.9.3 --disable-binary --with-gcc=clang worked for me.

I am also facing the same problem
$ rvm install 1.9.2
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.11/x86_64/ruby-1.9.2-p330.
It is not possible to build movable binaries for rubies 1.8-1.9.2, but you can do it for your system only.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

I had the same issue and resolved it by installing 1.9.3 instead. Does that solve it for you?

@willwright82 I have downgraded my OS to Yosemite, I need 1.9.2 only.
yeah but 1.9.3 works on EL captain
