I am running this command on Linux Mint 14 Mate:
rvm pkg install ree_dependencies --verify-downloads 1
and I get this error:

I googled for the solution, but got nothing. Your help is highly appreciated.
instead of ree_dependencies you should read output of rvm requirements - it will show you what needs to be installed.
A word of advice - REE is based on Ruby 1.8 which is no longer maintained, only security fixes will be released for few months, you really should try a newer ruby like 1.9.3, or if it's new project - try ruby 2.0.0 preview2:
rvm install ruby-2.0.0
