I was stuck on this one too. Make sure you have the latest version of Yosemite which is 10.10.5. Then type the command

rbenv install 2.3.1

That will install the latest version of ruby. After that, you shouldn't have a problem installing rails.

Try doing what the stack trace says! "Try gem pristine executable-hooks --version 1.3.2"
