Attempt 1: vanilla install with rbenv install

Looking at StackOverflow answers like this and this, I try...

Attempt 2: without tcl and tk

invalid option: --without-tcl

Please see '--help' for valid options.

The main problem here is invalid option: --without-tcl. I have tried multiple ways to supply the configure-options in various ways (set it as an env var, prepend like above, try to pass as command-arg) but it keeps failing with the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Environment

• OS: OSX Mountain Lion: OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012)
• brew: latest, 0.9.3 (brew --version)
• rbenv: latest, 0.4.0 (rbenv -v)
  with rbenv-build.

For anyone stumbling upon this, I installed XQuartz, tcl, and tk and then followed this SO answer to successfully install ree.

[arnab]

BTW, in the failed state rvm versions still showed ree as installed:

$ rbenv versions
  system
  1.9.3-p362
* ree-1.8.7-2011.12 (set by /path/to/code/.rbenv-version)

$ rbenv version-name
ree-1.8.7-2011.12

Only when I ran some command with ruby would it fail:

$ ruby -v
rbenv: ruby: command not found

The `ruby' command exists in these Ruby versions:
  1.9.3-p362

I'm having the same issue. Seems liks the CONFIGURE_OPTS= should be correct. This works for example:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--without-tcl --without-tk" rbenv install 1.8.7-p370

Seems like a problem with the ree + ruby-build setup because I was able to successfully install using rvm:

rvm install 1.8.7 --without-tcl --without-tk

[sstephenson]

This should be fixed on OS X. On other platforms, you can now use RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--without-tk when installing REE.

This appears to be a problem on Mavericks (10.9)

[courtenay]

It works if you use RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS, however.

[mislav]

@courtenay This shouldn't be happening with v20131028. Can you tell us your rbenv install --version?

[courtenay]

$ rbenv install --version
ruby-build 20131028

installed on a fresh system today with brew.

[mislav]

@courtenay Thanks for reporting. This is a regression that I introduced in the last release. You can brew upgrade ruby-build --HEAD now to get the fix. I will make a bugfix release soon
