rbenv: Ruby 2.1.1 build failed on Mavericks

Hey,

I’m having trouble installing Ruby 2.1.1 on my iMac running OSX 10.9.2 (Mavericks). Can someone identify the issue from my log?

$ rbenv install 2.1.1

I had too many dependencies to completely uninstall the Homebrew readline package, but here’s a quick and easy workaround that worked for me (from https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues/550#issuecomment-40681557):

brew uninstall readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

Edit: This is fixed in Ruby 2.1.2, use it instead!
