I'm attempting to run the script on a fresh Ubuntu server image and it exits when it reaches the RVM installation. It does create directories and download RVM but RVM fails to install properly. Here are the last 30 lines of the install log:

options:

--prefix : Installation prefix directory (rvm_path).

--version : display rvm package version

I'm not sure if this is an issue with RVM or the installation script. I've tried this on both 10.10 and 11.04, both 64bit server instances with the same results. Suggestions appreciated.
