To use it:

curl https://gist.github.com/thescouser89/8102408/raw/417cba9fee6ba1945b967b5ef236f676bd5005e0/1.8.7-rbenv.patch | rbenv install --patch 1.8.7-p375

The curl options used on the link you referenced are needed. So the command is:

curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/thescouser89/8102408/raw/417cba9fee6ba1945b967b5ef236f676bd5005e0/1.8.7-rbenv.patch | rbenv install --patch 1.8.7-p375

The -L option is especially needed as this will follow redirects now that GitHub has moved the gists to a new domain. Also the options disable curl output so just the patch is piped to rbenv. But thanks for the patch. It solved my problem on Fedora 20.

I have forked this and made one for Ruby 1.9.2-p320. Install with:

curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/eric1234/7035f3669bf880b8c71e/raw/3907bba14bf0d06daefdeead290635601dd0d92a/1.9.2-p320.patch | rbenv install --patch 1.9.2-p320

Another fork for 2.0.0-p0. Install with:

curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/eric1234/e23d63f99427b39787ca/raw/7859c4b08c9ae7c0cebc69d42cce2b553838dcf0/2.0.0-p0-rbenv.patch | rbenv install --patch 2.0.0-p0

the 1.9.2-p320 patch also works with 1.9.2-p330
