Installing Ruby 2.3.1 on Mojave OSX with rbenv or rvm

Question

First off I am on OSX Mojave 10.14, I have previously upgraded it from 10.13. I bought it new with 10.13.

I am trying to follow this tutorial:

https://scotch.io/tutorials/build-a-restful-json-api-with-rails-5-part-one

I want to make sure that I have the same environment setup using the same version of rails and ruby.

When I try to use rbenv to change my version of ruby (currently 2.6.1) to 2.3.1 I use the following command:

rbenv install 2.3.1

And I get the following error:

file.c:23:10: fatal error: 'CoreFoundation/CFString.h' file not found

I have tried looking on the internet where CFString.h might be, and I have found this useful command to list the directories where clang searches:

echo "#include <CoreFoundation/CFString.h>" | clang -v -xc -

This is the output:

$ echo "#include <CoreFoundation/CFString.h>" | clang -v -x c -

Also I am not sure if it is using clang or gcc. Here's the gcc output:

I have tried reinstalling xcode command line tools with this command:

xcode-select --install

I have also tried to use rvm to install the older version (2.3.1) of ruby. I follow the steps for installing rvm on osx using this tutorial:

https://usabilityetc.com/articles/ruby-on-mac-os-x-with-rvm/

I installed the pgp key and do the curl command to install it:

\\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

but I get the following error:

emacs: standard input is not a tty
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 2759)

So in summary, I am seeking answers that that help with installing ruby 2.3.1 using rbenv or rvm. Considering that rvm will not install and rbenv fails to find the include files.

I seem to be fine using the new version of ruby for the tutorial but I want to complete the tutorial, and I am worried that maybe something will not go smoothly using the newer version of ruby.

Answer 1

install Xcode install brew and openssl (or update it)

brew install openssl 

and then try again

rvm install 2.3.1 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`

Answer 2

使用以下命令重新安装头文件：

open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
