This is extremely frustrating. One question. When you reinstall rvm, does it delete the installed Rubies? I mean, do you then have to reinstall 1.9.2 and 1.9.3? I ask because this recently happened to a colleague, and the problem was that zlib needs to be in your system before compiling Ruby. Jesus.
