Error running '__rvm_make -j 1'

Today I was trying to install ruby 2.5.0, but I am getting this error every time.

console output with the error I got

I tried to completely uninstall rvm (rvm implode) and reinstall it but I wasn't successful.

Try rvm install 2.5.0 --disable-dtrace

the reason is here, ,

possible Ruby build problem

I faced the same issue as the original poster.

Compilation would halt at

ruby-2.2.6 - #compiling... Error running '__rvm_make -j 1', please read /Users/alexharvey/.rvm/log/1525652818_ruby-2.2.6/make.log There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation. 

Inspection of the make.log revealed:

translating probes probes.d error: error reading '/dev/fd/4' 1 error generated. clang: error: unable to remove file: Operation not permitted 

I finally found this reference to Avira Anti-virus in this link.

I went to Avira Anti-virus and selected "disable real time protection" and tried again. That fixed it.

ruby-2.4.6 - #compiling - please wait Error running '__rvm_make -j4', please read /Users/mgq/.rvm/log/1557891511_ruby-2.4.6/make.log

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

It seems that Avira antivirus is running. It has been reported to cause failures on ruby compilation. Disable it for the time of the installation and try again.

make.log

• __rvm_make:0> make -j4
• '****************'
• error: error reading '/dev/fd/7'
• 1 error generated.
• clang: error: unable to remove file: Operation not permitted
