Error installing rails 4 in mac

I am trying to set up rails in my mac(Yosemite) machine. But when I do 

gem install rails

I get the following error. Please help.

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

I think rvm might be trying to use gcc 4.6, which doesn't work properly with rvm. I believe you can:

  1. Uninstall gcc 4.6 (brew rm gcc46)
  2. Pull the latest rvm (rvm get stable)
  3. Retry gem install rails
