When encountering the error message “error running ‘__rvm_make -j8’,” it means there is an issue with the Ruby Version Manager (RVM) during the installation or compilation process. This error is commonly seen when attempting to install or update Ruby versions with RVM.

To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:

  1. Update RVM: Open your terminal and run the command rvm get stable to update RVM to the latest stable version. This ensures that you have the most up-to-date features and bug fixes.
  2. Repair Permissions: Run the command rvm fix-permissions to fix any permission issues that may be causing the error.
