Description

I'm rebooting an old rails project and it would be helpful to use ruby 2.5.8. My plan it to get it operational and then work on modernizing it.

rvm install ruby-2.5.8 fails with "Error running '__rvm_make -j8'"

There are many warnings in the log file. Am I using the wrong compiler?

Steps to reproduce

1. environment:

• intel macbook pro
• macos sonoma 14.5
• rvm 1.29.12

2. rvm install "ruby-2.5.8"

Expected behavior

Successfully installed ruby-2.5.8

Actual behavior

Error running '__rvm_make -j8'
