I am trying to install ruby-2.3.4 in my mac but without luck. Below is system's spec:
macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6
I have ruby 2.0 by default and I managed to install ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-darwin16]
Below is the error thrown when I do rvm install ruby-2.3.4
ruby-2.3.4 - #removing src/ruby-2.3.4..
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.12/x86_64/ruby-2.3.4.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
Certificates bundle '/usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem' is already up to date.
Requirements installation successful.

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Any insight/idea what might be going on ?
Below are the bottom lines of the make.log file.

Clearly, it's saying Permission denied. But I am not sure what kind of permission is it talking about ? I am able to install ruby 2.5.1p57 without any problem.
rvm reload did the magic. Running rvm install ruby-2.3.4 after running rvm reload worked like a charm.
