Installing nio4r via brew install throws an error on macOS catalina


I understand that this issue has a ton of answers on stack overflow (and other sites) but none of them seem to work for me. Here is where the issue arises. When I tried to run my server, this error popped up:

Could not find nio4r-1.2.1 in any of the sources

So I ran bundle install which threw this error:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Make sure that `gem install nio4r -v '1.2.1' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

When I do that, this happens:

    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

The things I have tried so far are:

  1. Updating xcode and accepting terms. - sudo xcodebuild -license accept
  2. Installing nio4r using this command - bundle config build.nio4r --with-cflags="-std=c99" then gem install nio4r -v '1.2.1' -- with-cflags="-std=c99"
  3. Tried installing libgmp3-dev for mac via brew install gmp
  4. There was a stack answer which mentioned postgres file port.h which needed to be deleted. That didn't work for me either.

I am running Mac OS Catalina(Recently upgraded). When I upgraded I also had to upgrade my Xcode - Version 12.2 (12B45b) I am running ruby version 2.3.1

If anyone has experienced this after catalina upgrade and has a solution, please help. I'd be happy to provide more info if needed.


Solution

  • You can disable this error with option -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration

    So try this

    gem install nio4r -v '1.2.1' -- --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
    

    You can add the same option for bundler:

    bundle config --local build.nio4r --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
    # and then
    bundle install
