Description

Unable to install ruby v2.7.4 on MacOS Big Sur v11.4

Steps to reproduce

rvm install 2.7.4

I have done rvm get master before running above command to ensure rvm is up to date.

Expected behavior

Should install the version 2.7.4 of ruby.

Actual behavior

The above command gives the error: Error running '__rvm_make -j16'. The full log is as follows:

ruby-2.7.4 - #removing src/ruby-2.7.4 - please wait
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/11.4/x86_64/ruby-2.7.4.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
Certificates bundle '/usr/local/etc/openssl@1.1/cert.pem' is already up to date.

I have been able to resolve this on my computer. Updating XCode and Command Line Tools fixed it for me.Below are the steps i did:

1. Update XCode
2. Ran the command brew doctor. This suggested that a new version of command line tools is available.
3. As suggested by brew doctor ran softwareupdate --all --install --force. This did not show any updates.
4. So again as suggested by brew doctor removed the existing command line tools and reinstalled with the below commands:
   1. sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
   2. sudo xcode-select --install

I am now able to install different ruby versions. Hope this helps someone else as well.
