POUsing RVM to install Ruby WITHOUT sudo

Body
copied!<p>In trying to install ruby 1.9.2, I get the error: </p> <pre> Error running 'make -j8', please read $HOME/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p320/1372884536_make.log There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation. </pre> <p>Then the log says:</p> <pre> gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report.

I am running Debian 5.0.9 lenny</p> <hr> <p>Answer: I discovered that the problem was with running make with 8 threads (make -j8). For some reason this does not work on my system. To solve the problem I ran the following function before running <code>rvm install 1.9.2</code>:</p> <pre><code>make() { if [[ $@ == "-j8" ]]; then command make -j4; else command make "$@"; fi; } </code></pre> <p>What this does is whenever <code>make -j8</code> is ran, the function will replace it with <code>make -j4</code> If this still does not work, you can just run make normally with the following function:</p> <pre><code>make() { if [[ $@ == "-j8" ]]; then command make; else command make "$@"; fi; } </code></pre>
