As I mentioned on the other issue try following: $ brew install openssl
$ export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)"
$ rbenv install 2.7.8It should work (not tested on Catalina). |

is the "rbnev install 2.7.8" doing something with Ruby 2.7.8? I need 3 or higher so I'm just asking. |

Huh, that's weird. Why don't you create a gist with your build log and post a link here? I suspect you have stray headers in your |

Also are your Xcode tools up to date? |

I had this same issue with a recent install of Catalina and worked around it by ensuring that First: [~] brew install readline opensslThen (via # Setup Compiler paths for readline and openssl
local READLINE_PATH=$(brew --prefix readline)
local OPENSSL_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)
export LDFLAGS="-L$READLINE_PATH/lib -L$OPENSSL_PATH/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$READLINE_PATH/include -I$OPENSSL_PATH/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$READLINE_PATH/lib/pkgconfig:$OPENSSL_PATH/lib/pkgconfig"
# Use the OpenSSL from Homebrew instead of ruby-build
# Note: the Homebrew version gets updated, the ruby-build version doesn't
export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$OPENSSL_PATH"
# Place openssl@1.1 at the beginning of your PATH (preempt system libs)
export PATH=$OPENSSL_PATH/bin:$PATH
# Load rbenv
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
# Extract the latest version of Ruby so you can do this:
# rbenv install $LATEST_RUBY_VERSION
export LATEST_RUBY_VERSION=$(rbenv install -l | grep -v - | tail -1)Last: [~] source .zshrc
[~] rbenv install $LATEST_RUBY_VERSION

@tobius is ruby-build supposed to announce that it is using home-brew readline? I can't get mine to print that regardless of the method used. |

Updating of the command tools helped me: sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

@DirtyF I was trying to following what you were doing to resolve your issue and was not sure what to do. Could you help? I am trying to get ruby 2.5.1 downloaded to do course work. I confirmed that Homebrew is installed, ruby-build is installed and so is rbenv. My issue is similar to yours. I am getting a failure: WARNING: ruby-2.5.1 is nearing its end of life. ruby-build: using readline from homebrew BUILD FAILED (macOS 11.0.1 using ruby-build 20201225) Inspect or clean up the working tree at /var/folders/8q/3_kkmpr9335_5lbl29t0tnfh0000gn/T/ruby-build.20210110201435.35535.fAL4k0 Last 10 log lines: Do you know what I need to do? I have no clue how to change to " Compilation succeeds with Xcode 12.3 and xcode-select version 2384 installed. ✅" |

@romicaiarca Hey man. What I ended up finding out is that 2.5.1 is not compatible with Big Sur or the M1 chip. 2.7.2+ is. I was able to download 2.7.2 and 3.0.0 see comments at: #1705 |

Ok, thanks! It looks like this is not a solution for me. I need to install ruby 1.9.3 because I'm using capistrano 2 on one of my project and the client don't approve updating it. |

For any beings from the future, use this command to install on M1 Mac (I'm using asdf but works for rbenv as well): |

i managed to work around this by using the homebrew gcc and symlinking it so that its picked up as the default compiler instead of the incompatible apple clang one. |

👏 bless you @pftg That fix worked for me installing 2.7.5 on MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey after spending hours trying to reinstall ruby after messing up all my permissions/environment running One thing to note is that my xcode-select version (2392) didn't change so I guess the reinstall alone did the trick. |

I was getting a similar problem when trying this on non m1 macbook: After much fumbling about, the solution was these 2 things:
I did not set any environment variables (in fact, I had tried setting some based on helpful tips above and elsewhere, but even after the 2 steps above the install wouldn't succeed until I removed those extra environment variables. Note I found all these steps by running Hope it helps someone else. |

EDIT: Solution in comment below
I've seen the other issues #1408 #1394 #1395 but the error I'm experiencing is slightly different. This happens on any version of ruby I try to install.
