rvm install 1.9.3
leads to the error in the make.log:

dmesg

shows at some point running configure process:

So I assume that 256MB RAM and 256MB Swap is not enough to compile Ruby on it.
I read that it should be possible using some parameters for gcc, see: http://hostingfu.com/article/compiling-with-gcc-on-low-memory-vps
But
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-CFLAGS="$CFLAGS --param ggc-min-expand=0 --param ggc-min-heapsize=8192"
Does not work to give the flags to gcc, log is still the same for the flags:
command(2): __rvm_make -j4
CC = gcc
LD = ld
LDSHARED = gcc -shared
CFLAGS = -O3 -ggdb -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-parentheses -Wno-long-long -Wno-missing-fiel$
XCFLAGS = -include ruby/config.h -include ruby/missing.h -fvisibility=hidden -DRUBY_EXPORT
CPPFLAGS = -I. -I.ext/include/x86_64-linux -I./include -I.
DLDFLAGS = -Wl,-soname,libruby.so.1.9
SOLIBS = -lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lm
How to compile ruby on that machine?
Creating a 512MB swap-file solved the problem. Here are the steps:
The swap file is not used after a restart. It can be integrated in
/etc/fstab
to use it after restart:The above steps to create a swap-file I found here (in German): http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Swap#Swap-als-Datei - licence for the above content: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/de/deed.en (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Germany (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 DE))
