rbenv install 3.3.1 - BUILD FAILED macOS 14.4.1 on arm64 (M1) using ruby-build 20240517

[rstammer]

Hi everybody! Unfortunately no 3.3.x version compiles for me successfully so far on my M1 from 2020.

What I already tried

• Re-installing Xcode / CommandLineTools
• Downgrading Xcode
• Re-installing rbenv, ruby-build

Terminal output

Thanks for your help 👋

[hanseulhee]

I am also experiencing the same problem 😭😭 Did you find a solution?

[rstammer]

Fortunately yes! The comment of @hsbt led me to remove some Python infra which did the trick (see #2387 (reply in thread))

[hsbt]

/Users/robinstammer/.pyenv/versions/miniconda3-latest/bin/arm64-apple-darwin20.0.0-nm

Can you disable nm command provided by pyenv temporally? Ruby only support the official toolchains by Xcode in macOS platform.

[rstammer]

Great, thanks for your help! It worked 👍

I removed pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv from my system using brew and cutted out my local .penv folder to get it out of the culprit. After that rbenv install 3.3.1 succeeded 🙏

Thanks for your help!

I never knew what exactly causes the issue, but we've had several reports over the years that an Anaconda/Miniconda environment sets up some build tools that inadvertently cause incompatibilities with building Ruby. #1361 (comment)

[pjmartorell]

For the record, I had the same issue about Undefined symbols for architecture arm6and I can confirm that commenting the following block related to anaconda in my .zshrc solved the issue compiling ruby 3.3.3 with YJIT in my Apple M2 Pro with Sonoma 14.4.1. I didn't need to uninstall pyenv.

# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/Users/xxxxxxx/anaconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.zsh' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/Users/xxxxxxx/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/Users/xxxxxxx/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
    else
        export PATH="/Users/xxxxxxx/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<

[chris55miao]

I also got the same issue when install ruby 3.3.3.
Commenting out the anaconda block didn't work for me. When i run which nm, it still return /opt/homebrew/anaconda3/bin/nm.
I ended up uninstall the anaconda.
I am suggested to use asdf to manage multiple language version.

@satish2516: Hi, your error doesn't seem at all related to the original error in this thread, so I would say that you should open a new discussion thread with your question. However, when you do open a new discussion, please do upload the full build log file somewhere, perhaps as a GitHub Gist, because from the terminal output that you've shared there is no visible indication of what went wrong, and thus no one here can help you determine the cause of the build failure. (The log file that you tried to upload to your comment did not work, as the link is empty.)

Some things that you could try:

1. Install [email protected] with Homebrew so that you don't have to compile OpenSSL every time you attempt to install Ruby: brew install rbenv/tap/[email protected]
2. Reinstall readline and libyaml with Homebrew to ensure that they are compiled for the proper CPU architecture ("arm64" in your case). From the output that you've shared, it looks to me like you might have used Apple's migration assistant to migrate from an older machine with an Intel CPU, and sometimes that migration messed up the Homebrew installation.

[kmeinster]

This is just for other people hitting this issue and getting to this discussion:

You dont need to uninstall Anaconda, just disable the default env for a bit:
conda config --set auto_activate_base False

Then do your ruby installation and reenable conda:
conda config --set auto_activate_base True

Make sure, to open a new shell/terminal after you put the config to False.
