Ruby-build: Failing to install 2.5.0 on OSX

Created on 28 Feb 2018 · 16Comments · Source: rbenv/ruby-build

Hello there,

I have been trying to run rbenv install 2.5.0 all morning. This is the message I get:

rbenv install 2.5.0

I have tried
``CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl`" rbenv install 2.5.0

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/local" rbenv install 2.5.0
```

I was originally on OS X Sierra but upgraded to High Sierra (hoping it would fix this problem). I have run brew doctor, brew update, and brew upgrade. I have also tried installing and re-installing rbenv. Attached is the log using brew --prefix openssl.

I was able to use 2.4.0 just fine. which openssl returns /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl.

Thank you for your time .

Tried to install ruby 2.4.2 with rbenv. The same issue was with 2.5.0. It is OS issue neither ruby version.

The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled.

rbenv install 2.4.2 got it fixed by running following commands :

     brew reinstall rbenv
     brew reinstall openssl 
     brew reinstall readline

Added to ~/.zshrc (my shell)

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

I was not able to get rbenv to work. However, this worked:

λ →  rvm install 2.5.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl

However, the following did not:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl" rbenv install 2.5.0

Anyone have any idea why? I much prefer to use rbenv :(

How about RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl" rbenv install 2.5.0 ?

hsbt on 1 Mar 2018

@hsbt Thanks for the response. I am appearing to have the same problem.

λ →  RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl" rbenv install 2.5.0

@sunnyrjuneja Did you install a latest version of openssl via homebrew?

hsbt on 1 Mar 2018

Yes, when I run brew upgrade openssl, I get Error: openssl 1.0.2n already installed.

sunnyrjuneja on 1 Mar 2018

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce your case and help you. I can install Ruby via rbenv install 2.5.0.

hsbt on 1 Mar 2018

Appreciate your attempts @hsbt.

Issue is with rbenv. Uninstall it completely & install RVM
