Avoid Ruby installation fail It seems the developer toolchain is broken by macOS or Xcode upgrade installation. Revise the developer toolchain before installing. Refs. - https://github.com/rbenv/rub... — committed to machupicchubeta/dotfiles by machupicchubeta 3 years ago

Hi, all.

Can you try with the following instructions?

$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install
$ sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

I think your developer toolchain is broken by macOS or Xcode upgrade installation.

I was having this same issue installing ruby 3.0.2 on Catalina. I got it to work by applying a patch that reverts this commit

Save this into a file called my_custom_patch_file.patch

I couldn’t reproduce it. ruby-build is working fine with my Catalina and Big Sur environment.

@hsbt This does not resolve the issue. I did what you asked on a Catalina Macbook Pro and the issue is still present. Applying the patch revert I mentioned does however work. I also have access to a Big Sur Macbook Pro that I can try with once the upgrade is done.

@hsbt Thank you! I had the same problem and your instructions fixed it for me.

@naro143 I get the same error (Segmentation fault: 11) when installing ruby 3.0.0. Did you solve it?
