gem install使用ruby 1.8.7，rbenv和其他本地gem引发分段错误

Question

I've got the old project to maintain on ruby 1.8.7, but I can't install bundle because there's no bundler installed for it currently and trying gem install bundler raises Segmentation fault. In fact it doesn't depend on gem, gem install <any gem> has the same result.

A few hours of googling had no effect, so here are the details:

$ gem install bundler
/home/marat/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]
Aborted

Environment details:

$ gem env

Any ideas?

Answer 1

This is likely an OpenSSL problem. You can run:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/local" rbenv install 1.8.7

This will give you a clean install of Ruby 1.8.7 with the correct OpenSSL information. You may want to do rbenv uninstall first.

Update:

Another way to tackle this is to change source 'https://rubygems.org' to source 'http://rubygems.org' in your Gemfile.

My guess is that you are trying to install latest version of bundler that does not support ruby 1.8.7(refs here ). Try to install bundler version 1.7.3 or lower. Example: gem install bundler -v=1.17.3

Using older version of gcc helped me. Here're the steps I took to resolve the issue in my case:

Add repositories containing older versions of gcc for Ubuntu 16.04 and install it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install gcc-4.4

Build project using older gcc:

rbenv uninstall 1.8.7-p352
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.4 rbenv install 1.8.7-p352
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.4 rbenv local 1.8.7-p352
