Hi,

I'm unable to successfully install Ruby 2.6.3 on macOS Catalina, having un-installed and re-installed all of its dependencies from Homebrew (libyaml, zlib, openssl, etc.):

==> Caveats
zlib is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

For compilers to find zlib you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include"

For pkg-config to find zlib you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/pkgconfig"

build-error: 0 (30 days)

Looking at the script, it seems that there is a needs_yaml / use_homebrew_yaml set of functions defined (needs_yaml calling into use_homebrew_yaml), however there is no caller for needs_yaml. I notice that there is a similar use_homebrew_readline, but it does get actually used here.

Is this intentional? I'm unsure how to interpret this situation. I've also tried manually calling use_homebrew_yaml in a modified version of ruby-build, and even though I see the log line it prints, the build fails with the same error I included at the top of this report.

Does anyone have any insights to this behavior? Would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, other than readline, ruby-build will not actually use any dependencies from Homebrew. You need to opt into them explicitly:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected]) --with-libyaml-dir=$(brew --prefix libyaml)" ruby-build ...

However, linking to Homebrew's libyaml shouldn't be strictly necessary, since the system one would do just fine. I'm not sure what went wrong with your build. Perhaps there is more information in full log output?

Thanks for responding.

I added the options to the command, but it still resulted in the same error:

Output of ruby-build with configure options for openssl and libyaml

Looking at the build log, it seems that psych is indeed getting built:

2882:The Ruby yaml extension was not compiled.
2887:  --with-libyaml-dir=/usr/local/opt/libyaml

I'm confused by the warning message saying that psych is missing, even though to compilation errors for psych (or any other gem / extension for that matter) appear in the log.

I think I may be experiencing a related, but slightly separate issue here, of passed --with-libyaml-dir not being honored somehow (by ruby-build: using libyaml from homebrew not showing up in the build log). If I manually call use_homebrew_yaml within the script, it works, which tells me something needs to call needs_yaml, but I don't think it's happening.

I've attached the full build log here: ruby-build.20200323183455.63736.log

I don't see anything obvious (past the missing extension messages, and the warning about psych missing) in there...

Hi,

I'm seeing the same problem on a different Ruby version:

Could this be a gcc problem?

For some cases it seems to be problem with Xcode command tools updates, so removing the command tools and re-installing them worked for me like this:
rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools && xcode-select --install
