无法在El Capitan上构建gem本机扩展-在LSTDC ++上失败

Question

I've spent the past hour scouring the internet for any solution to this but so far have come up empty handed...

I'm trying to install a gem called taglib-ruby, which has a dependency on a c++ compiler (which one would assume is covered by gcc and Xcode Commandline Tools) and taglib (a C++ library) which I have installed using homebrew. However, it doesn't seem to get as far as trying to include that, because it fails to find lstdc++.

I'm trying to do this on OSX El Capitan (10.11).

Can someone tell me what this dependency is and how I install it?

Please see console output below:

$ gem install taglib-ruby
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Answer 1

The error message has this in it:

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/

That's a pretty old version of ruby. Use rvm to install a recent version of ruby:

$ rvm install 2.3.1

then try installing the gem again.

If you want to make that version of ruby the default when you open Terminal:

$ rvm --default use 2.3.1

Edit: Hmmm...on OSX 10.10.5, I was able to do $ brew install taglib and then successfully install the gem $ gem install taglib-ruby on both ruby-1.9.3-p194 and ruby-2.3.0. I have the full Xcode installed(Xcode 7.2.1). I wonder if your Xcode command line tools are as severely outdated as your ruby version? You can try:

$ pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables

to get the version of your Xcode command line tools.

You might need to update rvm, ruby, homebrew, and the Xcode command line tools.
