Installing Ruby 1.9.3 is Failing for Me

[JEG2]

If I rvm get head, I run into this issue.

[rjsamson]

EDIT: @JEG2 - just noticed you're getting having the libffi problem too - any ideas yet?

I'm also unable to install and my log file looks identical. I'm also now getting this error:

Libraries missing for ruby-1.9.3-p286: /opt/sm/pkg/versions/libffi/3.0.10/lib/libffi.5.dylib. Refer to your system manual for installing libraries

Which is something I've never encountered before...

ah this gives me some background, try this one:

rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --disable-binary

[rjsamson]

@mpapis yup - that worked - thanks!

[mpapis]

which version of osx is this? 10.7 or 10.8 ?

[rjsamson]

10.8.2

[mpapis]

two problems to fix:

1. remove broken binary ruby for osx (or provide one that works, maybe static tokaido instead??? /cc @wycats)
2. make sure to remove binary ruby before installing compiled one

[mpapis]

extracted 1. to #1248

[michaeldever]

rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --disable-binary has fixed this issue for me too. I have the missing libffi issue too, also on OSX 10.8.2

Was also recieving this message: Gemset '' does not exist, 'rvm gemset create ' first, or append '--create'

Any other useful info I can provide?

[mpapis]

@Barnacle the Gemset '' does not exist, 'rvm gemset create ' first, or append '--create' is different error, check other issues for it, if it exist comment for updates otherwise open a new issue with full gist of the output so I know to fix it

[mpapis]

scheduled for 1.16.16

[yermej]

I was having the same issue also with Mac OS X 10.8. Reinstalling 1.9.3 with --disable-binary allowed a successful install for me as well. Thanks.

[papersail]

Was troubled by this same issue today. Wasted at least one hour trying to figure out myself. Finally the trick rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --disable-binary worked beautifully.

When I tried to install RVM itself from scratch today, I see both the Libraries missing for ruby-1.9.3-p286: /opt/sm/pkg/versions/libffi/3.0.10/lib/libffi.5.dylib... error from here and then, lower down, the Gemset '' does not exist from #895. The steps I need to take to install from scratch:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --disable-binary

[mpapis]

@michael-groble it is fixed on head not in stable yet as noted here: #1244 (comment) - it will be available in RVM 1.16.16
