rbenv stuck on installing ruby

[charlescho]

when using using rbenv to install ruby, bash is stuck on "Installing ruby -2.3.0".

I experienced the same thing. Also failed with RVM. I ended up following this post:

Brightbox's Ruby PPA packages work great:

I can say that I installed rvenv with ruby-build plugin and while installing a new ruby takes a huge amount of time it does end. CPU goes 100% for a very long time, an hour or more sometimes, but it finished correctly and ruby does work. I installed 2.3.0.

After waiting about 30 minutes, ruby-build did manage to complete the installation.

If you use --verbose, you should see the install progress.

• rbenv install --verbose 2.3.1

I did these commands, still running.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties libffi-dev

Then install rbenv:

cd
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

rbenv install 2.3.1

[lopezunwired]

Mine installed (about 25 minutes). After completing the last step I ran:

rbenv global 2.3.1
ruby -v
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-linux]

@lopezunwired Nice , rbenv install --verbose 2.3.1
You have saved my day

[lopezunwired]

Glad it helped you @algobasket . I haven't used ruby much since then.

It is over 30 mins for me already and still waiting for rbenv install 2.5.3 to finish

[tieandsuit]

takes some time indeed. Waited for 10 min and done .. but --verbose helped . as I now can see it's not stuck. Thanks for a tip.

[iam-veeramalla]

--verbose helped. Thanks alot :)

Same here, but i'm trying to install ruby from rbenv via mise (which is like asdf and wrapper over rbenv)
it stucks on 2 processes:
compiling psych_to_ruby.c and make[2]: Entering directory '/tmp/ruby-build.20240216210431.7436.FEZYoq/ruby-3.3.0/ext/rubyvm

top-to-bottom:
mise procees (with RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)")
ps aux | rg ruby
