I am trying to install Ruby 1.9.2p0 on Mac 10.4.11 PPC with XCode 2.5 and it fails with the following error in the log:

I also ran into this same problem on my 10.4 system.

I was eventually able to get  RVM to build 1.9.2 by “backporting”  changeset 28709 from Ruby’s SVN repository.

svn diff svn diff -c 28709 http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby > /tmp/ruby-r28709.patch
# remove (edit) the ChangeLog section so that it is skipped (applies cleanly)
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 rvm install --patch /tmp/ruby-r28709.patch%1 -C --with-baseruby=/usr/bin/ruby ruby-1.9.2-head

It should be possible to do something similar for the port.

This problem was fixed at r71852. Thanks ALL!
