RVM doesn't get installed

I'm trying to install RVM in Ubuntu 11.04. When I give command :

bash < <( curl https://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )

I get error :

bash: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `<'

I tried doing this - 

bash < <( curl -s https://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )

but this gives me error - 

curl: (1) Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

On giving this command : 

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.io/install/rvm)

does not produce any errors and does not install or download anything.

What am I missing ??

Thanks McCauley. My Problem is Solved. For those who are struggling with the same problem, here's what I did - As McCauley suggested,I installed curl by building from source and ensuring that ssl support is enabled. For this -

First, download the binary package of curl from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

Extract the binary package :

$ tar -xvf curl-7.21.7.tar.gz
$ cd curl-7.21.7

Configure with ssl support :

$ ./configure --with-ssl

Finally, make and install curl :

$ make && sudo make install

Now, you will be able to install rvm with this command : 

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.io/install/rvm)

If you get this output when trying to get anything from a https:// server, it means that the instance of curl/libcurl that you're using was built without support for this protocol.

Your best bet is to try and upgrade your version of curl/libcurl possibly by building from source and ensuring that ssl support is enabled.
