I've just installed RVM on ArchLinux x64 in single user mode via the recommended install script curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable I've also installed all the requirements listed in rvm requirements However, I'm having trouble actually installing any version of ruby. And getting the following error: arch:~ % rvm install 1.9.3 No binary rubies available for: ///ruby-1.9.3-p194. Continuing with compilation.
