Installing rvm hangs on mac os x

Question

I've been here kind of a while:

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
Installing required packages: autoconf, automake, libtool, pkgconfig, apple-gcc42, libiconv, libyaml, libffi, readline, libxml2, libxslt, libksba, openssl, curl-ca-bundle, sqlite3, zlib, ncurses, gdbm............

When running:

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

Not exactly sure why or useful debugging steps to take here. How to troubleshoot this? Will update this post as I find useful information.

Per log it got this far when I ctrl+c'ed:

---> Cleaning pkgconfig ---> Computing dependencies for apple-gcc42 ---> Dependencies to be installed: cctools llvm-3.2 gcc_select ld64 ---> Fetching archive for llvm-3.2 ---> Attempting to fetch llvm-3.2-3.2_1.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/llvm-3.2 ---> Attempting to fetch llvm-3.2-3.2_1.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/llvm-3.2 ---> Installing llvm-3.2 @3.2_1 ---> Activating llvm-3.2 @3.2_1

If this is right it's a better answer than mine, so accepting it. – djechlin Jan 02 '14 at 07:53

Just wait even longer. Took me about a half hour, hour maybe? I haven't figured out how to get more verbose output on which steps are taking place, but "waiting longer" is a valid step to try.

@AndrewPlummer - mine taking ages as well-- what movie did you end up watching.. :) – ek_ny Sep 02 '13 at 02:58
yeah what'd you guys end up watching? I'm also installing and need a movie to watch in the meantime – mharris7190 Feb 07 '14 at 04:32
Just ran into this issue myself (Mac OS X Mavericks). Took nearly an hour to complete. Installation was successful. Looks like the only thing it installed was `gcc466`. Hasn't solved my `RVM is not a function...` issue with `zsh` and `oh-my-zsh`. – Erik Aybar Apr 01 '14 at 13:47
Likewise, took a very long time to install gcc46. But it all worked in the end. – Adamski Nov 05 '14 at 22:28

First, install gcc46

brew install gcc46

This took 18.9 minutes to build but once built, I was able to install rvm in minutes.

I thought the build froze, thanks for the build time info, will wait some more this time (while my Mac is melting away building whatever gcc46 is) – Vexter Sep 19 '16 at 12:35

rvm requirements

was taking forever for me, so I stopped the process, and installed each requirement myself with brew individually, this gave me a better indication of what the hell was going on, when it was downloading what and what it was doing...

Mac

brew install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig apple-gcc42 ...

Debian

apt-get install autoconf . . .

Fedora

yum install autoconf . . .
