Installing RVM to /Users/coleschiffer/.rvm/
    RVM PATH line found in /Users/coleschiffer/.profile /Users/coleschiffer/.bashrc  /Users/coleschiffer/.zshrc.
    RVM sourcing line found in /Users/coleschiffer/.zlogin.
    RVM sourcing line not found for Bash, rerun this command with '--auto-dotfiles' flag to fix it.
Installation of RVM in /Users/coleschiffer/.rvm/ is almost complete:

  * To start using RVM you need to run `source /Users/coleschiffer/.rvm/scripts/rvm`
    in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.

# coleschiffer,

Try `brew tap --repair` and make sure `brew doctor` looks reasonable.

I don't think you need to use brew for what you're trying to accomplish. The command you posted, \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails makes use of railsinstaller, as noted on the rvm website.

If you look on the railsinstaller website, it currently says "Please do not run the installer on OSX Mavericks until further notice."

As CWitty mentioned, your best bet is probably to install rubygems and rails separately.

First install the stable version of RVM stable with ruby:

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

Then update rubygems:

$ gem update --system # may need to be administrator or root

And finally install rails using rubygems:

gem install rails
