Install fails on Mojave

[marcandre]

Description

I'm having issues installing many versions of Ruby on my mac newly updated to Mojave.

Install gist: https://gist.github.com/marcandre/1cf51577ed11a95b71a72c01c057f132
Log gist: https://gist.github.com/marcandre/3bf7fda62b1e6c979e0b018ebdb09372

I'm clueless as to what is going on; the 3 exception make no sense to me.

Installing 2.6.1 / 2.4.5 produce same failure and errors in the log file.

[pkuczynski]

The issue seems to be connected with installing rubygems, and not ruby itself:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /ruby-2.5.1@global directory

Can you check this?

[marcandre]

Sorry, but where is the /ruby-2.5.1@global directory??

[marcandre]

AFAIK, everything is contained within ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.5.1 which was created by rvm and is drwxr-xr-x with my user and group.

[kelvinmatheus]

I started to have the same problem after updating RVM. I will be following this issue. I am using macOS Mojave.

Thanks.

[kelvinmatheus]

Hey, I tried the following and it worked for me:

Error:

rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 to your ~/.rvmrc file.



# Install ruby 
$ rvm install 2.6.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl

The solution above I got from the following comment:
postmodern/ruby-install#194 (comment)

# Install gem
$ gem install bundler

I hope this can help.

[Piero512]

OpenSSL support is bad on macOS since Apple decided to deprecate openSSL and make their own libraries, so this workaround of --with-openssl-dir should be default config for macOS, since what most people will do is just install homebrew openssl.

[pkuczynski]

@marcandre could you please run rvm get branch /with-openssl-dir and try again? @kelvinmatheus and @Piero512 you could also maybe try the same?

[Piero512]

It seems to have successfully installed ruby without any args.
Terminal's Output.txt
I have brew installed, so openssl was installed on /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib .

[jdashton]

The /with-openssl-dir branch was not an instant success on my machine. See this gist for the results.

I have OpenSSL 1.0.2q installed via Homebrew, but openssl at the command-line still points to Apple's LibreSSL implementation.

$ brew info openssl
openssl: stable 1.0.2q (bottled) [keg-only]
SSL/TLS cryptography library
https://openssl.org/
/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2q (1,794 files, 12.1MB)

From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/openssl.rb
==> Caveats
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the SystemRoots
keychain. To add additional certificates (e.g. the certificates added in
the System keychain), place .pem files in
  /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs

and run
  /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash

openssl is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.

If you need to have openssl first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find openssl you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

For pkg-config to find openssl you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

The distracting thing is that the error log is still fussing about

You don't have write permissions for the /ruby-2.6.1@global directory.

as if the earlier part of the directory (which should be ~/.rvm/gems/ is somehow missing or being ignored.

There's nothing in the error log that directly references OpenSSL:

$ grep -i ssl .rvm/log/1550590613_ruby-2.6.1/rubygems.install.log
$

[marcandre]

Still running in the same errors.

When installing:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /ruby-2.6.1@global directory.

Trying it out afterwards then generates the "Could not load OpenSSL." error on bundle.

Anything I can do to help, or should I reinstall rvm?

[jdashton]

I have to wonder if this is actually a problem with the commit to support RubyGems 3.0.2 in #4572 , maybe bbf398c

[marcandre]

I uninstalled rvm completely and reinstalled it.

Still getting the dreaded "Could not load OpenSSL." error message after installing 2.6.2. 😭

[marcandre]

I went nuclear, uninstalled rvm, brew, reinstalled Mojave, reinstalled brew & rvm and... it works 😺

[jdashton]

And, in contrast, I changed nothing, but both Ruby 2.5.4 and Ruby 2.6.2 installed without generating this error.

[elia]

@marcandre @pkuczynski can we keep this open until there's a non-nuclear ☢️ solution? 😄

I bumped into this some months ago after brew decided it was time to clean up without me asking and removed libs required by readline. I just had the same problem right now after trying to install 2.4.5.

The bandaid-solution that worked for me was to run rvm gemset create global --default after the installation was completed with an error. But would love to see a proper one.

[marcandre]

Actually, my nuclear explosion fixed things only for 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6.

For older Rubies, I had to reinstall with a with-openssl-dir option like:

rvm reinstall 2.3 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`

This worked well for ruby 2.2 and 2.3.

For Ruby 1.9 & 2.1, I get an error on reinstall with the with-openssl-dir option:

Making gemset ruby-2.1.10 pristine.............................................|
'command gem pristine --extensions  --version ' failed, you need to fix this gems manually.
.
Error running '__rvm_with ruby-2.1.10 gemset_pristine',

Making gemset ruby-2.1.10@global pristine.......................................

Full log

This was fixed with:

rvm gemset create global --default

For Ruby 1.8.7, the rvm gemset create command itself fails because gem install can't find openssl.

👍

[Furqanameen]

Folks,
I succeeded by doing this:
apt purge libssl-dev && apt install libssl1.0-dev...
After that the 'rvm install 2.3.5' works fine
Obs.: I tried before doing the same installation in a ubuntu 18.04 and the command 'rvm install 2.3.5' works fine too!
Is not the Tara version the same as ububtu 18.04? I'm afraid there will be other differences......

[galtzo]

(Crossposting my comment because many people in this thread have this issue, yet the thread hasn't addressed it at all)

This is still an issue on 10.14.5 installing ruby-2.5.3.

Here is my install log:

∴ cat /Users/pboling/.rvm/log/1562796278_ruby-2.5.3/rubygems.install.log

Pulling the important bits out of the log, we can see GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH are set:

GEM_HOME=/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.3
GEM_PATH=/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.3:/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.3@global

But the command seems to override them to very bad values:

command(7): env GEM_HOME=/ruby-2.5.3@global GEM_PATH= /Users/pboling/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.5.3/bin/ruby -d /Users/pboling/.rvm/src/rubygems-3.0.4/setup.rb --no-document

Breaking it down further, these settings are not valid:

GEM_HOME=/ruby-2.5.3@global
GEM_PATH=

This is fundamentally the same issue as #4607

[leonardofaria]

For the record:

I was trying to install 2.6.3 in Mojave (10.14.5) and got the following error:

Exception `LoadError' at /Users/leonardo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.3/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems.rb:1375 - cannot load such file -- rubygems/defaults/operating_system

Solved this issue by running:

rvm gemset create global --default

[taranda]

openssl 1.0.2 is no longer available via brew and openssl 1.1 does not seem to work with older versions of ruby (2.3.3) in my case. Do I just need to upgrade ruby or is there another work around?

[twobitfool]

This worked for me...

brew install rbenv/tap/openssl@1.0
rvm reinstall 2.2.9 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl@1.0`

[marcandre]

@twobitfool 's trick worked for me, until I switched of machine, and install of old versions now fails.

I'm sorry to report that I've switched to rbenv. I had no trouble installing even 1.9.3.
I hope that rvm considers to use the same default strategy for openssl:
"ruby-build installs a non-Homebrew OpenSSL for each Ruby version installed and these are never upgraded."
