I tried this answer #328 (comment) but not working.

[theblang]

I'm seeing Version not found when running asdf install ruby 3.2.2

[viraptor]

@theblang that's unrelated, it just means your ruby-build is not to date yet. Run asdf plugin update ruby to fix that.

[pboling]

You can also use the newer-than-latest-release of ruby-build with (from README):

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

[etewiah]

asdf plugin update ruby

Even after running above I do not get ruby 3.2.2 listed when I run asdf list-all ruby

[xcolour]

@uxgnod I had the same issue (M1, macOS 13.3.1).

I was able to resolve by installing libyaml from homebrew (brew install libyaml) and then installing normally (asdf install ruby latest). I ultimately did not need to set any of the custom build options suggested in #328 (comment).

[pboling]

@etewiah It sounds like the command asdf plugin update ruby is failing for you. You'll have to make sure that works first. Alternatively, you can try running the command:

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

[pmgower]

@uxgnod and @xcolour I had a similar issue with build and psych (Intel MBP 2019, macOS 13.4) and was able to resolve it by installing libyaml via homebrew (brew install libyaml) and then installed normally (asdf install ruby 3.2.2).

Same as you @xcolour, I did not need any of the custom build options.

[etewiah]

@pboling , sorry only saw your comment after I fixed it. Your tip was indeed correct. Many thanks!

[pboling]

@Stratus3D I think this can be closed.

[uxgnod]

@pboling Sorry I forgot to reply and update the status of this issue earlier. The way you mentioned can indeed solve the problem, and I agree that the issue has been resolved and I will close this.

[stidch]

I would be nice to have a solution without the need of installing libyaml with brew first.

Can't this be fixed on the asdf/ruby side?

[jhussain123]

I have libyaml installed and it's not working again.

I was able to fix my similarly broken ruby install by deleting the system installed gems located in ~/.gem (my GEM_HOME directory).

[pletoss]

Why is this issue closed ? Installing libyaml from homebrew seems like a temporary workaround, since defeats the purpose of using asdf as being "one tool" only to manage these.

For example, we're using asdf in our CI jobs to automatically pull tools on several machines/agents that the builds are running. Now we would need to manually install homebrew, and then install libyaml on all agents and future agents that we might add.

Can't this be fixed by updating the install script ?

[pboling]

@pletoss The fix for many people is simply to use the latest build of ruby-build, which is done with:

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

No need to do anything with libyaml there.

Thanks for the tip. Tried that, however while it works on macos build machines, it still fails on linux:

[pboling]

It failed generating documentation. If you don't need it (such as on a non-development environment), you can turn off the documentation part of the build.

This issue is a little confusing, from typos, and I am not sure of the current state of the defaults and switches - but it can be done.

#19

[guicattani]

Thanks for the tip. Tried that, however while it works on macos build machines, it still fails on linux:

You need to install libyaml-dev and zlib1g-dev beforehand for it to work with that command. Or ignore the documentation as recommended by @pboling.

What works for me:

ruby 3 versions
ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

ruby older versions
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@3
ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 2.7.5

[asleepace]

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@3
ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 2.7.5

Awesome, was stuck on this for a while, this worked:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@3
ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 2.7.5
