I followed the instructions on the RVM website on how to do a multi-user installation. When I try installing a version of ruby, I get the following:

$ /usr/local/rvm$ rvm install 1.9.2
Installing Ruby from source to: /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)...

What am I doing wrong?

have you tried using rvmsudo rvm install 1.9.2 – Supereminent 20/12, 2011 at 20:12

This looks like it is working! I tried rvmsudo imporperly before, using 'rvmsudo install 1.9.2.' Silly mistake. Thank you for your help. – Maggoty 20/12, 2011 at 20:30

I fixed the same problem without any sudo stuff, which is not recommendable at all, using the solution of upisdown in this question
