Struggling with getting rbenv up and running on my mac:

I'm experiencing nearly the same symptoms,

rbenv uninstall 2.4.1; rbenv install 2.4.1

it will hang here indefinitely until I kill the process. readline 7.0.3_1 is already installed via homebrew

@briankabiro I tried what felt like everything (this might work for you, if it;s an rbenv issue, and you haven't tried it yet>>> #377 (comment) . It didn't work for me though. ) In the end, I installed an Ubuntu environment via VirtualBox. It's not ideal, and I'm still looking for suggestions to make rbenv and ruby compatible with High Sierra, but it's a filler for now... Please let me know if you find anything that helps you!

@GPreiss solution with CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl" rbenv install 2.3.4 didn't work for me as well 😥

It looks like you're having problems with ruby-build, which is the plugin that provides rbenv-install.

First, ensure that ruby-build is updated to the latest version.
If your problem persists, check existing issues in the ruby-build repo and open a new one if necessary. When opening a new issue, please attach the full build log.

I have had the same issue but I am able to fix it by doing the following steps:

sudo mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include_old
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-dtrace" rbenv install 2.4.1

sudo mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include_old

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-dtrace" rbenv install 2.4.1

I was able to install Ruby 2.5.3 with this.
What next? Should I replace /usr/local/include_old to /usr/local/include after this?

I tried everything in this thread, but to no avail.

The fix was to uninstall rbenv and install rvm instead: compilation of Ruby proceeded without a hitch thereafter.

... the irony being that I switched from rvm to rbenv a couple years ago because rvm had an intractable issue with openssl at the time.

I guess I should be thankful that it's never been the case that both of them have an issue with openssl at the same time.

I had the same issue and here is how I fixed it (thanks to a lot a googling)

$ open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

then follow the installation until the end (next, next, next,...)
and then install like you usually do:

$ rbenv install 2.5.5

@thegreyfellow this seeeeeems to be working? 🤞 I'm not getting errors about "cross compiling C programs" and "--host" flags anymore, but my fans are going crazy and it's stalled at Installing ruby-2.3.8... ruby-build: use readline from homebrew for aaaages 😢

Update: OMG it worked! Took for EVER to run, though...
Thank you so much! ❤️

Its almost 2020 and still I got this error. This is how I solved it

First run

$ brew uninstall openssl
$ brew --prefix openssl
$ sudo mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include_old
$ rm ~/.rbenv

Add path found with brew --prefix openssl to .zshrc

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

Open new terminal or source RC file

$ rbenv install 2.5.1
$ rbenv global 2.5.1
$ ruby --version

I had this problem in 2020 @trackq but your comment saved me. The only last thing I would add is: don't forget to add it to your .bash_profile:

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

just need to pass the flag for OpenSSL 1.1, i.e. on Mac with openssl1.1 installed with brew:

ruby-install 2.5.1 -- --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/

With rbenv would be similar to this:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/" rbenv install 2.5.1
