I've just installed RVM on ArchLinux x64 in single user mode via the recommended install script

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

I've also installed all the requirements listed in rvm requirements

However, I'm having trouble actually installing any version of ruby. And getting the following error:

arch:~ % rvm install 1.9.3
No binary rubies available for: ///ruby-1.9.3-p194.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Please note that it's required to reinstall all rubies:

    rvm reinstall all --force
