[marvindanig]

Here's the question on SO with logs pertaining to Mojave. The ones below pertain to MacOS Catalina:

rbenv install 2.6.5

Read somewhere that someone has pushed in C++ code on a plain C program somewhere. Don't know how much of that is true.

Here's the full error log as gist.

I noticed the same issue on another app of mine with ruby 2.5.1 and rails 5.2.0 as well. Has something to do with 32/64 bit machines and the gems that seem to pick the bug up are:

1. Typhoeus
2. Bootsnap
3. Saasc
4. Ethon.

I posted the issue on stack overflow.

Getting this trying to install 2.7.0 on macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)...
Same build error, pretty exact build log as well.

It looks like the issue is with building openssl, try installing openssl as suggested in the wiki:

$ brew install openssl libyaml libffi
$ export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])"
$ rbenv install 2.6.5

Currently, ruby-build doesn't look for homebrew openssl so the above solution might work by explicitly telling it to do so.
