Why do I get a 404 error installing Ruby 1.9.3?

Question

I recently had my computer (OS- Mac OS X 10.6.8) wiped and I am re-installing all my development tools. I have RVM installed once again; however, it won't let me install Ruby 1.9.3.

So far I have tried:

• rvm install 1.9.3
• rvm install 1.9.3-p194
• rvm install 1.9.3-p448
• rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang

All returning the same command line error:

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

No binary rubies available for: osx/10.6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p448.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Answer 1

The Ruby-Lang.Org service is currently down. Status is at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2013/08/06/status-issue/

EDIT: More timely updates and use of mirrors guidance at https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/issues/259

FINAL EDIT: The status page indicates the service is back up. I also just successfully ran rvm install 1.9.3

Answer 2

This is mega lame. I'm off to a bad start with Ruby...

There are mirrors. Will this work? Anyone know how to continue brew installation manually?
