Installation Problem

[ilkermutlu]

I'm on High Sierra 10.13.2

Ruby:

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [universal.x86_64-darwin17]

Gem:

$ gem -v
2.5.2

When I do gem install vimwiki_markdown I get errors with the following output. Any ideas?

$ sudo gem install vimwiki_markdown

Hmmm, I don't really know. I have been using rvm rather than the systrm ruby, and, I don't have any issues (not that that particularly makes sense).

Did you try Googling for the error message? I did find
brianmario/charlock_holmes#122 which looks like it might have some pointers on how to get around it. I'd try the manual install listed in that issue first, and if that doesn't work, consider using RVM instead, it may make your issues go away. It seems like this is a bug which needs to be fixed in charlock_holmes perhaps using a fix like in this gosu issue . As vimwiki_markdown doesn't currently use a makefile, I don't particularly want to go down that path and try to work out how to implement a specific fix for this. I am watching brianmario/charlock_holmes#122 so if and when it gets closed, I'll try to upgrade vimwiki's gems.

Anyway, if you do manage to get it installed using one of the methods above, do update this issue with a comment :) .

Thanks,
Patrick

Hello Patrick, thanks for the reply.

I've tried the manual install mentioned in that issue with no luck. However, installing with RVM seems to do the trick.

Here are the working steps for me:

• Install RVM (Not a Ruby dev, so I don't have it installed)

$ curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

• Install Vimwiki Markdown with RVM

$ rvm all do gem install vimwiki_markdown

Cheers,
Ilker

Yeah, it's weird that. rvm must be doing something clever behind the scenes (which is why I tend to use it!)

Anyway, while there might be a way for me to fix vimwiki_markdown to fix this, as there's an effective workaround, I'm going to close this issue :)

Thanks for reporting that rvm fixed it for you.

Best,
Patrick
