I'm having a lot of trouble getting Ruby 1.8.7 installed on my clean install of Mountain Lion. I've looked around on Stack Overflow and don't see anything that specifically addresses this issue and hope that someone might have encountered this before.
I'm using the command line tools that can be downloaded with Xcode
I haven't had any problems installing Ruby 1.9.3 via RVM and HomeBrew. When I try to install 1.8.7 I get the following message after it tries to compile:
I first ran the command
rvm install 1.8.7
This gave me this error
The provided compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.
After digging around a bit I tried
rvm install 1.8.7 --with-gcc=clang
Error running 'make ', please read /Users/paulzaich/.rvm/log/ruby-1.8.7-p370/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Ruby 'ruby-1.8.7-p370' was built using clang - but it's not (fully) supported, expect errors.
Please be aware that you just installed a ruby that requires 2 patches just to be compiled on up to date linux system.
This may have known and unaccounted for security vulnerabilities.
Please consider upgrading to Ruby 1.9.3-194 which will have all of the latest security patches.
At this point I did some more searching and found something about needing compile my own readline. RVM Does Not Install Ruby 1.9.2 on Snow Leopard: 'Error running 'make '
This unfortunately seemed to corrupt my entire rvm install including 1.9.3. I tried to reinstall 1.9.3 and got the same errors I as I was getting with 1.8.7. I completely deleted RVM at this point and reinstalled. Had no problem installing 1.9.3 again.
I also tried updating all versions of rvm based off of this post RVM issue with Mountain Lion. No luck there either.
Update: I also tried using this walkthrough for REE 1.8.7 which recommended installing gcc-4.2. No luck unfortunately.
Update 2: I reference rvm requirements and installed the following packages
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
rvm pkg install openssl
So far so good. Then I referenced this post on needing to reference the GCC compiler. I determined that the links referenced might not be correct because I'm using homebrew? I found the compiler in my Cellar folder and used the following command
CC=/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.8.7
No luck. Same error messages as before.
I just figured it out! Please reference this question on SO
rvm can no longer install 1.8.7-p352 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion
rvm reinstall 1.8.7 --without-tcl --without-tk
Alternatively, try this installation order if you have Homebrew.
brew install tcl-tk
rvm reinstall 1.8.7
Just to follow up to Paul's post. I'm running OSX 10.8.2, had 1.9.3 install without issues, but 1.8.7-p370 also failed. I symlinked gcc-4.2:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
...successfully ran:
brew install tcl
...but tk failed:
brewk install tk
If you're in the same spot, this command did the trick:
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm reinstall 1.8.7 --without-tk
Latest Xcode provides only clang - not GNU gcc, you need to install gcc-4.2 to be able to compile Ruby 1.8.7 properly, following command will show available options:
rvm requirements
currently only ruby 1.9.3-p125 and later has limited support for clang, but this is limited support, and still errors can be found.

I am trying to install Ruby on my mac and that too the latest version but having trouble.
The pre-installed ruby on mac is of verion 2.0 however, I need to upgrade the same to latest.
I tried installing ruby with Homebrew like brew install ruby but whenever i check the version, it shows me the earlier version only. Refer Terminal screenshot:
Am trying to learn ruby but this thing got me stuck for long.
Have also tried another package manager rbenv and did rbenv install 2.5.1 but that failed with the following error I have no idea about
The Ruby zlib extension was not compiled.
ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions
Configure options used:
--prefix=/Users/vshukla/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1
--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl
CC=clang
CFLAGS= -O3 -Wno-error=shorten-64-to-32
LDFLAGS=-L/Users/vshukla/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/Users/vshukla/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1/include
Please guide.
Homebrew has correctly installed the last version of ruby in /usr/local/bin. You can check it with:
/usr/local/bin/ruby --version
The macOS version of ruby is installed in /usr/bin. You can check it with:
/usr/bin/ruby --version
If you want to always run the Homebrew versions of installed tools, you have to put /use/local/bin before /usr/bin in your PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line in your ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
P.S.: According to your macos ruby version, you don't have the last macOS version.
The compile error log contains:
The Ruby zlib extension was not compiled.
ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions
Try installing "zlib" and then try again, by running:
brew install zlib
RVM fails, and hangs, when trying to install Ruby 2.3.x (2.3.1 in my case) on Manjaro 4.11.12, but this issue has been also reported on other operating systems such as openSUSE.
The error thrown is Error in../../miniruby': corrupted double-linked list but there are situations where RVM also points to OpenSSL or GCC.
Here is what I tried:
Downgrading from GCC7 to GCC6 and even GCC5
Installing openssl with the rvm pkg install command (rvm pkg install openssl)
Doing a system update
Nothing worked so far.
This took me a while to debug as the log files are not very explicit, most of them point to OpenSSL 1.0 some of them point towards GCC; also this issus can't be reproduced with newer Ruby versions such as 2.4.x.
It seems that the issue is from GCC7 and there is already an official patch released for it.
You can download the patch from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/6655/ruby_2_3_gcc7.patch and then run rvm install 2.3.x --patch ruby_2_3_gcc7.patch%0.
This should fix the issue and RVM won't complain anymore.
I am trying to install ruby 1.9.2 using RVM and I cannot seem to get it to work. I have installed homebrew, GCC 4.2, X-Code command line tools, and I've made sure I have all the rvm requirements and that RVM is up to date. It just will not work. Here is a gist of what I am seeing in my terminal. Thank you very much.
Terminal:

Ruby will build just fine, but it won't build with OpenSSL support. I've tried setting CC to point to both the XCode 4.6 command line tools' copy of GCC and MacPorts' version of gcc 4.2. That doesn't work. I've added --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr and --with-opt-dir=$rvm_path/usr. Neither of those work. Each time it fails, I check the log and it just says that there was an error configuring OpenSSL and that it will be skipped. Any ideas?
I had the same issue recently after installing ruby 2.0, this is how I solved:
rvm get head
rvm pkg remove
rvm requirements run
rvm reinstall 2.0.0
I found the solution in the comments reported in this Issue
i was fixing openssl issues while installing ruby on my new shiny mac yesterday.
had to reinstall ruby as #fmendez suggested
but before doing that i had to install openssl .
i did it through brew.
actually there are lot of other libraries you have to install , like automake , libxslt, etc.
i did ,
rvm requirements
it showed me what all to install.please install that first before doing the reinstall of ruby.
also i was facing issues while installing 1.8.4 , for that i had to do
rvm install 1.18.4--with-gcc=clang --without-tcl --without-tk
for installing ruby 1.9.2 , i had to do
rvm install --with-gcc=clang
hope it helps
Yes, I know there's some questions posted regarding issues of installing Ruby 1.9.3 on Lion, mainly because of problems with later versions of Xcode (4.3.2 in my case).
However, I've tried all there is to try that's posted here on Stack regarding this manner, and nothing helps. It starts to compile, one minute or two passes and then suddenly halts.
As examples I've tried with the following (of course I have GCC installer installed):
rvm install 1.9.3
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=gcc-4.2
If running rvm install 1.9.3 the following error shows during the compilation (which halts the installation):
Error running 'make', please read /Users/henrikpetersson81/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p374/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Here you can read the log file from the latest build fail:

Last thing I've tried was to follow the updated guide in this answer. Same problem.
What can be the problem here?
NOTE. I've the following installed:
Ruby 1.8.7
Homebrew 0.7.1
RVM 1.17.10
GCC installer 4.2.1
Xcode 4.3.2
Command Line Tools
RVM has an updated command to install all required libraries:
rvm get head
rvm requirements run
It might ask you for your password (for sudo).
After that run:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-opt-dir=`brew --prefix readline` --without-tcl --without-tk
Update RVM 1.19+
RVM takes care of it all:
rvm get stable
rvm autolibs homebrew
rvm install 1.9.3
It looks like there are issues with readline. Since you're using Homebrew, you can try this:
brew install readline
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-readline=`brew --prefix readline`
