I was trying to install latest stable Ruby versions (3.1.x
, 3.2.x
) using rvm
. However, the rvm install
command of any of those versions fails when compiling Ruby. For instance, when trying to run
rvm install 3.1.4
I get the following output:
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/13.5/arm64/ruby-3.1.4.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
Updating certificates bundle '/opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@1.1/cert.pem'

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Looked for errors in the file with less -p error /Users/davidlj95/.rvm/log/1692282742_ruby-3.1.4/make.log
.
Seems the last error appearing before failing is related to OpenSSL:
ossl_ts.c:829:5: error: incomplete definition of type 'struct TS_verify_ctx'
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs(ctx, x509inter);

I am using an M1 / ARM chipset MacBook Pro. With macOS Ventura 13.5.
I've tried:
rvm list known
: 3.0.0
. It fails too.make -j8
. Fails because of same reason.brew install openssl@1.1
after seeing you may need an older version of OpenSSL to build Ruby. It was already installed. No luck either.Makefile
existsbrew install openssl@3
. No luck either.As the Ruby build guide suggests, export the configuration arguments environment variable for the pre-compilation step indicating where libraries installed by Homebrew are installed. You can do so by running:
export CONFIGURE_ARGS=""
for ext in openssl readline libyaml zlib; do
CONFIGURE_ARGS="${CONFIGURE_ARGS} --with-$ext-dir=$(brew --prefix $ext)"
done
Then, run the rvm install
command. Compilation succeeded and that Ruby version was installed. Worked for several Ruby versions.
