无法使用rbenv安装Ruby 2.5.1，导致C Compiler错误

Question

I am trying to set up a new machine and prepping the dev environment. My Xcode and command line tools are all installed. I used homebrew to install ruby-build and rbenv. I then execute the command:

rbenv install 2.5.1

However I get the following error:

BUILD FAILED (OS X 10.14.2 using ruby-build 20181225)

  Stop.

I have already tried to go into the logs to see if I can see something there, but nothing.

I have tried searching for solution to this but to no avail.

I would really appreciate if someone can help point me to the right direction and help me resolve this.

Thank you!

What is the name of your home folder? rbenv doesn't like spaces in the home folder name. They should be replaced or removed.
