[SOLVED] Difficulties installing some gems (rsvg2 and gobject-introspection) on macOS 13

Difficulties installing some gems (rsvg2 and gobject-introspection) on macOS 13

I'm trying to install the following gems without any luck: rsvg2 gobject-introspection

Native library of gobject-introspection is installed via brew.

I'm using ruby 2.7.2 installed using RVM

when ever I try to install rsvg2 or gobject-introspection I get the following error:

gem install rsvg2:3.5.1

. . . ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make: *** [gobject_introspection.bundle] Error 1

make failed, exit code 2

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/ibrahimsalem/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.2@salam_sc/gems/gobject-introspection-3.5.1 for inspection. Results logged to /Users/ibrahimsalem/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.2@salam_sc/extensions/arm64-darwin-22/2.7.0/gobject-introspection-3.5.1/gem_make.out

Solution

Finally fixed it by doing:

gem install gobject-introspection:3.5.1 -- --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup" gem install cairo-gobject:3.5.1 -- --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup"
