@theblang that’s unrelated, it just means your ruby-build is not to date yet. Run asdf plugin update ruby to fix that.

@uxgnod I had the same issue (M1, macOS 13.3.1).

I was able to resolve by installing libyaml from homebrew (brew install libyaml) and then installing normally (asdf install ruby latest). I ultimately did not need to set any of the custom build options suggested in https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby/issues/328#issuecomment-1433127845.

What works for me:

ruby 3 versions ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

ruby older versions brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@3 ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 2.7.5

You can also use the newer-than-latest-release of ruby-build with (from README):

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

@pletoss The fix for many people is simply to use the latest build of ruby-build, which is done with:

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2

No need to do anything with libyaml there.

@pboling Sorry I forgot to reply and update the status of this issue earlier. The way you mentioned can indeed solve the problem, and I agree that the issue has been resolved and I will close this.

@pboling , sorry only saw your comment after I fixed it. Your tip was indeed correct. Many thanks!

@uxgnod and @xcolour I had a similar issue with build and psych (Intel MBP 2019, macOS 13.4) and was able to resolve it by installing libyaml via homebrew (brew install libyaml) and then installed normally (asdf install ruby 3.2.2).

Same as you @xcolour, I did not need any of the custom build options.

@etewiah It sounds like the command asdf plugin update ruby is failing for you. You’ll have to make sure that works first. Alternatively, you can try running the command:

ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION=master asdf install ruby 3.2.2
