Ruby-build: Ruby 2.7.2 installation fails on MacOS 11.1 - Interrupted system call

[adarshjayan7574]

Ruby build fails when installing ruby 2.7.2 using rbevn on macos 11.1

Problem: Ruby build process is getting Interrupted by a system call and it ends up in file/dependency load error

Solutions that I tried

Updated ruby-build, rbenv, openssl, xcode, xcode-select, created another administrator account for the installation

Other solutions that I tried from the internet

Observations: Cannot load such file errors are pointing on different files on each build iteration, it's not consistent at all

Security fabric agent was interrupting my installation process, disabling the same fixed the problem

[chini5ko]

@adarshjayan7574 How did you disable security fabric agent? 😅

I'm also having this issue on macOS 11.2 with rbenv install 3.0.0 so would be interested to know more about your solution @adarshjayan7574.

Here's the last of my terminal log, which is very similar:

@chini5ko Thanks to this Stack Overflow tip, I uninstalled Avira, retried rbenv install 3.0.0, and was successful. If you have Avira, or another similar application, (e.g. Kaspersky), you might uninstall that and retry.

Faced with the same issue because Avast installed.

[alisher-agzamov]

The same issue with installed ESET Endpoint Antivirus. I've removed and the issue was resolved.

Same issue with Little Snitch running with 'Preferences > Advanced > Endpoint Security System Extension' enabled, fixed by temporarily disabling.
