Install fails on 10.8.3 without Xcode installed #1928

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-05-28T21:22:52Z

Just tried to install rvm today using:
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enable --ruby

This is after installing the command line tools and homebrew.
It didn't require Xcode to be installed in the past. But now, the install fails asking to specify the installed Xcode with xcode-select.

XCode requires 1.25 GB of disk space which is a lot on an SSD if you don't need it.

This is my cheatsheet that I've used on several installations without any trouble until today.

please gist the output of:

rvm --debug requirements ruby

I have a similar issue.

I'm using 10.8.4 with Command Line Tools for Xcode (but not the full Xcode package)

@jhottenstein what is in the log file /Users/jhottenstein/.rvm/log/1369929975_package_install_autoconf_automake_libtool_pkgconfig_apple-gcc42_libiconv_libyaml_libffi_readline_libxml2_libxslt_libksba_openssl_curl-ca-bundle_sqlite3_zlib_gdbm_ncurses.log ?

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-05-31T16:52:07Z

@mpapis Slight correction to my originally posted comment. I attempted to install rvm as a multi-user install not a single user install using:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --autolibs=enable --ruby using zsh as my command shell. I also attempted to use ruby 1.9.3.
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --autolibs=enable --ruby=1.9.3

I don't think the output of rvm --debug requirements ruby is going to be helpful in my use case as after it failed, I then installed XCode and ran sudo xcode-select -switch / at the same time. I was then able to successfully install rvm. Not sure if sudo xcode-select -switch / or installing XCode fixed. it.

If you think it would be helpful, I can run through the entire process again on a fresh install when I get a free moment. Just let me know.

mpapis · 2013-05-31T16:59:24Z

@AJ-Acevedo I do not see where it would require XCode, if you get time you can divide the process in few steps:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm autolibs enable
rvm --debug requirements ruby
rvm --debug use --install ruby

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-05-31T21:23:46Z

Performed the following steps on a clean 10.8.3 after installing command line tools and homebrew:

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
$ source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
$ rvm autolibs enable

Received the following errors after rvm autolibs enable:

An ls -al /usr/local/rvm shows that the owner is root and the group is rvm but the current user was not added to the rvm group.
The following will add the current user to the rvm group:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -a $USER -t user rvm

Want me to run it again after adding the current user to the rvm group?

mpapis · 2013-05-31T21:51:29Z

yes you need to be in rvm group, this should be enough too:

sudo rvm group add rvm $USER

and then gist:

rvm --trace requirements ruby

the xcode-select error seems unrelated to the later fail

mpapis · 2013-05-31T21:51:48Z

make sure to include the last mentioned log file

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-06-01T00:02:51Z

Here is a gist of the output for rvm --trace requirements ruby after adding $USER to the group rvm.
https://gist.github.com/AJ-Acevedo/5688730

mpapis · 2013-06-01T00:52:24Z

I do not see xcode-select in the output, it is possible that not being in rvm group was changing some important behaviors, or are all requirements already installed?

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-06-01T05:43:23Z

I'll start it over on a clean install and do the following:

Install 10.8.3
Install command line tools
Install Homebrew...

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
$ source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
$ sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -a $USER -t user rvm
$ rvm autolibs enable
$ rvm --debug requirements ruby
$ rvm --debug use --install ruby

And report back tomorrow.

AJ-Acevedo · 2013-06-01T18:34:46Z

I followed the steps listed in my previous comment and everything installed and works perfectly.

Here is a gist of the logs: https://gist.github.com/AJ-Acevedo/5691287

So it looks like the following will fail because the user is not being added to the group rvm. Is it possible to have the installation add the user to the group rvm after it is created?
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --autolibs=enable --ruby

mpapis · 2013-06-01T19:01:18Z

ah yes you can:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --autolibs=enable  --add-to-rvm-group $USER --ruby

I'm not sure what you mean.

@jhottenstein Please post the command(s) you used before you received the error.

Sure. I'll implode rvm and macports and do it again.

@jhottenstein Are you using zsh or bash? I too received the xcode-select error, though I was using zsh. When I started over on a clean system, I was using bash.

Looks like xcode-select isn't reliable when using just command line tools:

$ xcode-select --print-path
/Volumes/Xcode/Xcode45-DP1.app/Contents/Developer

$ xcodebuild -version
xcrun: Error: could not stat active Xcode path '/Volumes/Xcode/Xcode45-DP1.app/Contents/Developer'. (No such file or directory)

mpapis · 2013-06-03T00:09:20Z

this problem is from macports, can you check each package step by step which one is failing:

port install autoconf
port install automake
port install libtool
port install pkgconfig
port install apple-gcc42
port install libiconv
port install libyaml
port install libffi
port install readline
port install libxml2
port install libxslt
port install libksba
port install openssl
port install curl-ca-bundle
port install sqlite3
port install zlib
port install gdbm
port install ncurses

you do not have to run them all - just till you get the error

jhottenstein · 2013-06-03T01:38:15Z

Bingo. Any of them fail. I guess it wasn't clear to me that those errors
were coming from port not rvm.

I'll try using a different package manager and find/open an issue with
macports.

Thanks for your guidance.

I did not hit this issue, but my system is pretty mixed with 4 different package managers checked out already ... anyway if you get any information from macports how to fix it please let me know - till then I'm closing it as it's not rvm's fault (if we can do anything to make it better we will do it - when we know what it is).
