Getting Ruby Up and Running on OSX Mountain Lion

Install the latest version of xcode from the App Store
Install the xcode command line tools. How To Guide
XCode no longer ships with gcc-4.2 as a separate executable as gcc is version 4.2. Therefore you need to symlink it so that ruby can find gcc-4.2.
```
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
```
