Can't install ruby-head

[dillonwelch]

Description

When I try to install rvm install ruby-head, I get an error that blocks me from completing the installation.

Steps to reproduce

1. rvm install ruby-head

Expected behavior

ruby-head installs

Actual behavior

It's possible I'm failing at Google, but the only issue I can find when I google the error I'm seeing relates to erlang/asdf, which doesn't seem correct for this situation. asdf-vm/asdf-erlang#195

Same issue here

• macOS 11.6
• Xcode 13.0 Build version 13A233
• rvm 1.29.12-next (master)

I've tried to downgrade autoconf as described in asdf-vm/asdf-erlang#195 without success

Did you manage to solve this?

[dillonwelch]

Sadly nope, still have the same issue.

[brian-kephart]

I'm having the same issue. Like @tagliala, downgrading autoconf did not help.

[brian-kephart]

Update: This issue persists on MacOS Monterey. However, rvm install 3.1.0-preview1 works as expected.

[brodock]

confirmed it still doesn't work with ruby-head (3.2.x)

I can build ruby-head locally by running ./configure manually on a cloned ruby repository. Is it fair to assume that autoreconf is not necessary anymore for ruby-head?

[brodock]

I found a way to build and sent a PR in #5238
