I get a postgres error when I'm trying to install rvm for some odd reason. 

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm

Error:

ruby-rvm is already the newest version.

ruby-rvm is no more maintained package and you should not use it, for more details check https://stackoverflow.com/a/9056395/497756

You might want to install these packages and try again

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1 libpq-dev

Edit:

I always install rvm like this

Dependencies:

sudo apt-get -y install gawk libgdbm-dev pkg-config libffi-dev build-essential openssl \
libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 \
libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev autoconf libc6-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison subversion python \
postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev nodejs

And rails:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
