rbenv install 1.9.3-p429失败

Question

I am trying to install ruby 1.9.3-p429 but I keep getting a compiling error. I've sought help from a few people around the shop and no one is able to figure it out. I was able to install ruby 2.0.0 without any errors.

The following is the text I have copied from the terminal after entering the command rbenv install ruby-1.9.3-p429

Here is the error msg I am getting in it's entirety:

Answer 1

I also had this problem.

In my case I tried to use the RUBY_CFLAGS variable provided in this article , which warns about it not being completely safe.

After trying and failing, I removed the corresponding line from ~/.bash_profile but it failed again. The reason was that the variable was still defined in the current bash environment, so I had to unset RUBY_CFLAGS to be able to install a ruby version.

Answer 2

This issue is occurred because gcc is not installed in your system. All you have to do is to open your Xcode -> go to the preferences on top menu -> select Downloads tab -> in that window install command line tools

Now restart your terminal and try again

rvm install 1.9.3

Answer 3

Install the correct version of gcc .

It might be extra tricky on Mac thanks to Apple which provides some convoluted crap for gcc.

I removed all my gcc installations once by one using brew remove gcc , brew remove gcc49 (used brew search gcc to find what's installed). Then ran rbenv install again and got a clear msg written for dummies like me.

(0)kashyap@vpn-client-163$ rbenv install 1.8.7-p352 --verbose

ERROR: This package must be compiled with GCC, but ruby-build couldn'tfind a suitable `gcc` executable on your system. Please install GCC
and try again.

DETAILS: Apple no longer includes the official GCC compiler with Xcode
as of version 4.2. Instead, the `gcc` executable is a symlink to
`llvm-gcc`, a modified version of GCC which outputs LLVM bytecode.

For most programs the `llvm-gcc` compiler works fine. However,
versions of Ruby older than 1.9.3-p125 are incompatible with
`llvm-gcc`. To build older versions of Ruby you must have the official
GCC compiler installed on your system.

TO FIX THE PROBLEM: Install Homebrew's apple-gcc42 package with this
command: brew tap homebrew/dupes ; brew install apple-gcc42

You will need to install the official GCC compiler to build older
versions of Ruby even if you have installed Apple's Command Line Tools
for Xcode package. The Command Line Tools for Xcode package only
includes `llvm-gcc`.

Answer 4

I am using rbenv since a few years now and never ran into this problem before... but today I got the error on a Linux Mint setup.

The solution for me was simply to install some packages.

sudo apt-get install build-essential did the trick

Answer 5

Try installing g++ and then rbenv install ruby-1.9.3-p429

Also, if you have no boundation, try rvm .

I am still not sure why rbenv is showing this error
