RVM Error when installing Ruby using WSL2 on Ubuntu: Error running '__rvm_make -j16'

I am reinstalling my environment after reinstalling windows 10. I was given instructions for installing WSL2 and using the Ubuntu distro, nvm and then node.js, and then rvm and ruby. My organization wants us on ruby version 2.7.4 specifically. I am sure that if I posted the full instructions that wouldn’t be allowed, but I am going to post the code they tell us to run to see if anyone knows why I get this error. I have gotten it to work on this machine before, and these steps are repeatable on other windows machines because I setup an environment on my laptop.

Here are the steps I was told to follow:

1. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Ubuntu
• Search for the "Command Prompt" application using the "Start" menu
• Select "Run as administrator" from the right side of the search window
• Allow the program to make changes to your device and wait for the "Command Prompt" application to open
• Type wsl –install -d Ubuntu and press
• The terminal should output "The requested operation is successful."
• Restart your computer to complete the installation.
• Open the "Ubuntu" application
• When it says "Enter new UNIX username:" add a simple username and press (Note: usernames may not start with a number, and may not include capital letters)
• Where it says "New password:" add a simple password and press (Note: you will not see any text when you are typing your password.)
• Where it says "Retype new password:" retype the same password from before and press (Note: store this password somewhere safe. You will need it to be able to run commands in the future)
• The terminal should output "Installation successful!" and then print about 50 lines that you can ignore
• Type wsl –set-default-version 2 into the terminal and press (Note: you should see a message starting with "For information on key differences…")
• Type wsl –status into the terminal and press . You should see a message including "Default Version 2", which verifies that the default version has been set correctly.
• Type wsl –set-version Ubuntu 2 into the terminal and press
Wait for the "Conversion complete" or "This distribution is already the requested version" message in the terminal
• Type wsl –list –verbose into the terminal and press . You should see a message including "NAME Ubuntu VERSION 2", which verifies that the default version has been set correctly.
2. Install Node Version Manager (NVM) on Ubuntu
• Open the "Ubuntu" application using the "Start" menu
• Type curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash and press
• Close the "Ubuntu" application
• Reopen the "Ubuntu" application
• Type nvm and press
• If you see a message ending with "Note: to remove, delete, or uninstall nvm", continue below.
3. Install Node.js on Ubuntu
• Open the "Ubuntu" application using the "Start" menu
• Type nvm install –lts and press
• Type nvm list and press
• If you see a message starting with "-> v16.0.0" (or any higher number, like "-> 16.11.1"), continue to the next lesson
4. Install Ruby Environment Manager (RVM) on Ubuntu
• Open the "Ubuntu" application using the "Start" menu
• Type sudo apt-get install software-properties-common and press
You may be asked to enter your Ubuntu terminal password
• Type sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm and press
• Type sudo apt-get update and press
• Type sudo apt-get install rvm and press (Note: if you are asked "Do you want to continue [Y/n]", type "Y" and press )
• Type sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER and press
• Close the "Ubuntu" application
• Open the "Ubuntu" application using the "Start" menu
• Type rvm and press
• If you see a long message ending in "For additional documentation, please visit https://rvm.io
This is an external link.", continue below
5. Install Ruby Version 2.7.4 on Ubuntu (This is the part I can’t get to work)
• Open the "Ubuntu" application using the "Start" menu
• If the "Ubuntu" application is still open from the last step, close and re-open to prevent errors with running the next command.
• Type rvm install 2.7.4 –default and press
• Enter your Ubuntu password if prompted
• Type rvm list and press
• If you see a message starting with =* ruby-2.7.4, continue below
• If you encounter issues installing a version of Ruby via RVM, try the following in Ubuntu:
• Run rvm group add rvm $USER
• Close Ubuntu and reopen
• Run rvm fix-permissions
• After running the last command, try installing Ruby again with rvm install 2.7.4 –default
• If you are continuing to have issues installing RVM, try running the following:
$ sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER
• After running, try installing Ruby again.

The install seems to fail when compiling and I get this error message:

"Error running ‘__rvm_make -j16’,
please read /home/dylan9706/.rvm/log/1671650995_ruby-2.7.4/make.log

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

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
