Ruby 2.1.1 build failed on Mavericks

[vincenzomerolla]

Hey,

I'm having trouble installing Ruby 2.1.1 on my iMac running OSX 10.9.2 (Mavericks). Can someone identify the issue from my log?

I get the same error trying to install 2.1.1 or 2.1.0 with rbenv. First it failed trying to link openssl, then I installed it manually with homebrew and now it fails on linking ripper instead.

[mislav]

See rbenv/ruby-build#550

I don't know the cause yet 😿

[alwillis]

Ditto on the error; even on a freshly installed Mavericks install no less.

[orospakr]

I worked around this by uninstalling my homebrew readline package. Apparently GNU Readline 6.3 is ABI incompatible with what Ruby currently expects. Same results with either 2.1.0 or 2.1.1. Upstream apparently has a fix: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9578. However, I did not have success trying to massage their patches into working with --patch, so I went with the route of uninstalling GNU readline and leaving only OSX's built-in editline wrapper in place.

However, I got over that hurdle only to stumble into an apparent resurgence of rbenv/ruby-build#377: ruby-build isn't noticing my brew-installed copy of OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Not been a good week to install Ruby on a Mac, apparently. Anyone else run into this after working around the readline error?

[arvsr1988]

what @orospakr suggested fixed the problem.

[andersennl]

I've got the same error, tried to install ruby 2.1.0 via rbenv today.

[aaronadamsCA]

I had too many dependencies to completely uninstall the Homebrew readline package, but here's a quick and easy workaround that worked for me (from rbenv/ruby-build#550 (comment)):

brew uninstall readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

Edit: This is fixed in Ruby 2.1.2, use it instead!

[chrsvl]

@aaronadamsTO thanks, it worked!

[juanazam]

Applying this patch its another possible workaround.

[thommahoney]

@juanazam thank you. The patch is the best solution at this time.

[andyleejordan]

@juanazam 👍 Thanks man!

[andyleejordan]

If anyone else is using rbenv and wants a patched install of either 2.1.1 or 2.0.0-p451 (which is having the same issue), here's a post on it.

[alwillis]

@andschwa Thanks for posting this; works great.

[mattbrewer]

@andschwa Thanks for the post, worked great!

[andyleejordan]

No problem!

[nikhilbhardwaj]

@aaronadamsTO Thanks it worked for me.

[negibouze]

@andschwa Thanks for posting this; works great!

[gregclar]

@andschwa. Thanks for the post - worked great.

[jclark42796]

@aaronadamsTO worked for me, thanks!

[brobertsaz]

@aaronadamsTO Thanks it worked for me as well!!

[aaronadamsCA]

Note that this issue was fixed in Ruby 2.1.2.

[andyleejordan]

Can concur with @aaronadamsTO. The issue is fixed.

[sc0ttman]

+1 for readline fix

[Remzi1993]

I also try the readline fix, but for me it doesn't work :(

brew uninstall readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

[aaronadamsCA]

Again, please note that this issue was fixed in Ruby 2.1.2 and up. The patch above is no longer necessary.

[Remzi1993]

So, it works when I install the latest version of Ruby?
I also need to install with rbenv ruby version 1.9.3-p194
So I do rbenv install 1.9.3-p194
Than I also get an Build Failed error message :(

[aaronadamsCA]

It's possible you've got multiple versions of readline installed, and that rbenv is still looking at a newer one. Try this:

brew uninstall --force readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

[Remzi1993]

Yes, I have execute your terminal commands, but nothing works :(

@remzicavdar You might not have a problem with readline, but with openssl. Try brew unlink openssl #542 (comment)

[Remzi1993]

I have used the OpenSSL installer.
This is a home project I'm working on :)

https://github.com/remzicavdar/OpenSSL-Universal-Binary-Installer

[mislav]

@remzicavdar OK, then please uninstall it. Many software on OS X like Ruby 1.9 will fail when compiled against newer openssl versions. Openssl that ships with OS X will be just fine for most software, and those Rubies that need the newer one will automatically install it through ruby-build (or re-use the one available in Homebrew)

[Remzi1993]

[Remzi1993]

What do I need to uninstall? The latest version of OpenSSL?
I think it's safer and before I installed the latest version of OpenSSL I already got the Build Failed error :(

[Remzi1993]

It was linked to my version?

Yes the latest version of OpenSSL. Ruby 1.9 won't compile against it.

It's just a thing to try, though. If it doesn't fix your problem, then it
must be something else.

[Remzi1993]

Okay, I will try it :)

And if I run brew doctor I get the following warnings :(

[Remzi1993]

Also compiling Ruby from source doesn't work either :(

cd /usr/local/src
git clone git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
cd ruby
autoconf
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/src/*

I just want to install Ruby, Rails and work on a project, but know I'm really struck :(

[mislav]

Something seems really broken with your development environment, @remzicavdar. You could try resolving all the issues that brew doctor is complaining about by removing the offending files. You should ensure that the only which -a openssl is /usr/bin/openssl and that it's the system default version ("OpenSSL 0.9.8y"). You should brew install openssl but NOT brew link --force openssl. In the end, try installing only Ruby 2.1.2 and none of the older Ruby versions since they might not be compatible with newest version of libyaml from Homebrew. We're working on fixing compiling old releases.

[mislav]

Also please reopen new issues about this in the ruby-build project, as this project (rbenv) doesn't deal directly with compiling Ruby versions.
