Can't install Rails on my system

I keep getting the following error. I have rvm 1.25.17 (stable), ruby 2.1.0p0 revision 44422. Also, I checked my Xcode install and I think it's up to date (3.2 in /Developer and 5.0.2 in /Applications). At some point, an error told me that my Xcode might not be installed. I'm getting back into programming after a long break and am at a loss. Just trying to get setup on some Ruby on Rails...

Fetching: atomic-1.1.14.gem (100%)

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

You are probably missing command line tools for Xcode, that are required for gcc and make. Install the same from Xcode-> Preferences-> Downloads, or from the command line with xcode-select --install, and then retry installing Rails.

From XCode 5.0.1 onwards, you can install commandline tools from the terminal. Here's the command, please run this on your Terminal:

xcode-select --install

Once it's installed, try installing the gems again.

Basically atomic gem expects you to have developer tools like gcc 4.2 which you can install view brew or simply install XCode command like tools, reinstall ruby via rvm and then install rails.
