ruby - Issue installing 1.8.7 p358 under RVM -


after getting xcode rvm install 1.9.3 works totally fine. however, rvm install 1.8.7 throws following error.

~ ☺  rvm install 1.8.7 installing ruby source to: /users/jordanscales/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p358, may take while depending on cpu(s)...  ruby-1.8.7-p358 - #fetching  ruby-1.8.7-p358 - #extracting ruby-1.8.7-p358 /users/jordanscales/.rvm/src/ruby-1.8.7-p358 error running 'tar xjf /users/jordanscales/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.8.7-p358.tar.bz2 -c /users/jordanscales/.rvm/tmp/rvm_src_30581 ', please read /users/jordanscales/.rvm/log/ruby-1.8.7-p358/extract.log there has been error while trying extract source.   halting installation. there has been error fetching ruby interpreter. halting installation. please aware installed ruby requires        2 patches compiled on date linux system. may have known , unaccounted security vulnerabilities. please consider upgrading ruby 1.9.3-194 have of latest security patches. ~ ☺  

the log reads

[2012-06-04 17:06:23] tar xjf /users/jordanscales/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.8.7-p358.tar.bz2 -c /users/jordanscales/.rvm/tmp/rvm_src_30581  ruby-1.8.7-p358/lib/test/unit/ui/gtk/testrunner.rb: (empty error message) tar: error exit delayed previous errors. 

any idea how fix? i've tried rvm head, installing gcc-4.2 , using that, using clang, etc. nothing seems work.

make sure satisfy requirements specified by:

rvm requirements 

including xcode 4.1 or osx-gcc-installer

run (to fix broken download):

rvm cleanup archives 

and try again:

rvm reinstall 1.8.7 

is there reason why going 1.8.7? it's @ end of life , 1.9.3 should used instead if not requirement.
