Installing Ruby 2.0.0-preview1 with RVM on OS X

gistfile1.txt

# First, make sure that you have the most recent rvm. Several bugs with 2.0.0-preview1
# have recently been fixed.
#
# Second, the openssl that comes with MacOS is too old for Ruby 2.0. You need to install
# a newer one with homebrew or the rvm pkg command.

# Option 1, with homebrew openssl:

brew update
brew install openssl
rvm get head
rvm install 2.0.0-preview1 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`

# Option 2, with rvm pkg install openssl:

rvm get head
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install 2.0.0-preview1 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

RVM will now install openssl automatically.

If you still want to use homebrew openssl:

rvm install ruby-2.0.0 --skip-openssl --with-opt-dir="`brew --prefix openssl`"

Thanks, this worked for me!

I had to use jfirebaugh's suggestion -- for some reason I could not get rvm's openssl install to work, it always failed with rubygems. --skip-openssl saved me and my up-to-date brew package seems to work fine.
