Installing Ruby 1.8.7 on Mac Os C 10.9.2

I need to install ruby 1.8.7 on Mac Os x 10.9. I have run into several problems and have not found the answer. I have X code 5.1.1 and command line tools installed. What ever I do, I always get this same error message:

$ rvm install 1.8.7
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.9/x86_64/ruby-1.8.7-p374.
It is not possible to build movable binaries for rubies 1.8-1.9.2, but you can do it for        your system only.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on     binary rubies.

for my case. I previously installed the autoconf libtool module myself and home-brew want to override that. so you have to manually tell brew that.

brew link --overwrite autoconf
...

you should run brew doctor and spend sometime read keywords like: error,build

See this bash script which lets you switch between 1.8.7 en 2.0. No RVM, brew or other extra software needed: https://gist.github.com/mipmip/7cfbadfcfa5fabe0ba84
