failed to install ruby 1.9.3-p194 with RVM

September 5, 2012

On MacOS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1, I tried to update ruby to the latest with RVM 1.15.8, I ran into the following error.

tsakuma@~/recengine$ rvm install 1.9.3

Seeing the log, it says --with-libyaml is not found.

Mh... I'm sure using --with-libyaml when compiling current version of ruby I'm using.

tsakuma@~$ find .rvm | egrep libyaml
.rvm/src/yaml-0.1.4/src/.libs/libyaml-0.2.dylib
...
.rvm/usr/lib/libyaml-0.2.dylib
.rvm/usr/lib/libyaml.a
.rvm/usr/lib/libyaml.dylib
.rvm/usr/lib/libyaml.la

There is the libyaml under ~/.rvm, so I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to there.

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.rvm/usr/lib

Try again.

Oops, it says gcc is not found this time. Ah, it's due to updating Xcode just now? This MBP is a sub note and I've not recently maintained.

Oh, bingo... I got the trouble before like this.

With Xcode4.4, we can download command line tools from Preference -> Downloads.

BTW, got tired...
