I figured a lot of it out (trial and error)and was able to eventually download and install RVM. I then was able to download and attempted to install Ruby 1.9.3 using RVM but got some errors below and therefore it failed to install. I am a UNIX beginner (like 4 hours a go :-) but it seems to me that things didn't' go in the right place according to the error for the configure.log and the error for the make.log. It says to read them but I am such a newbie I don't yet know how to do that. Is there something simple I should have done to prevent the errors before I attempted the Ruby install?
