Trying to install RVM and getting: Error running '__rvm_make -j2'

I was trying to install RVM with stable ruby on a mac and got a make error:

abbreviated console output:

   \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io
   ...
   ...

   ruby-2.4.1 - #post-configuration.

   Error running '__rvm_make -j2',

abbreviated make.log:

System

I'm thinking that using sudo with the RVM install curl command is a bad idea but how do I get around this permissions issue? Thanks.

I got this error in MacOS Catalina,

If you are installing ruby ​like this

rvm install 2.4 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`

Try instead:

rvm install 2.4 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl

The issue might be that you've got several Openssl versions installed

You can check it with,

ls -la /usr/local/opt/ | grep openssl

These steps worked for me:

$ gpg2 --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB

$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
$ brew install openssl
$ rvm install 2.4 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl

Double check that you have xcode installed and possibly gnupg.

brew install gnupg
