How do I force brew to install latest version of neovim (ver 0.5.0) when brew's formula only has 0.4.3?
I have tried:
brew update
brew upgrade neovim
And it says: Warning: neovim 0.4.3 already installed
I went brew's git repo and checked on neovim formula. Brew has neovim's 0.4.3, not 0.5.0. So brew update/upgrade is not going to help. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/neovim.rb
I'm thinking of just downloading neovim from neovim repo and installing it manually, but I'm afraid I'll have to manage updates and dependencies if I do this manual install.
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim-macos.tar.gz
tar xzf nvim-macos.tar.gz
./nvim-osx64/bin/nvim
What should I do?
I fixed this with the following steps:
1) Unlink old neovim version:
brew unlink neovim ... and 2)
Install pointing to head:
brew install --HEAD neovim
... This installed neovim 0.5.0.
According to the brew doc, brew install --HEAD will install the master branch of the package. For neovim, it means that the latest version of neovim will be built for you, which may not be stable enough or even compile.
I suggest you install the nightly binary version of neovim. The best way to get the nightly version is to download from the binary release. No dependency is required to install if you download the binary release.
If you don't want to do this manually, you can write a bash script to automate this.
I installed lua on my OSX 10.10 machine using brew install lua. The version that got installed was 5.2.4. LuaRocks was installed along with the lua package. But when i run luarocks install <package_name> i get Error: ##HOMEBREW_PREFIX## does not exist and your user does not have write permissions in. i tried using sudo luarocks install <package_name> as well, but it gives the same error. How to fix this ?
Please Help.
Thanks
This was a bug in the way we relocate text files to ensure wider bottle portability for non-/usr/local users.
It was resolved a couple of weeks back, July 31st I believe. Presuming your Homebrew is in a standard location, if you do:
rm /usr/local/etc/luarocks52/config-5.2.lua && brew update && brew reinstall lua
The problem should be resolved now. Apologies!
I had the same problem when using the luarocks when installed with homebrew, try installing luarocks again like this:
$ wget http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.2.1.tar.gz
$ tar zxpf luarocks-2.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd luarocks-2.2.1
$ ./configure; sudo make bootstrap
I took this code snippet from here: https://luarocks.org/
I managed to install all the modules that I required without problems after doing this.
After doing a Ctrol+C on a 'brew update' command, can't see all available formulas (searching with brew search command, E.g any php package)
I've tried with brew doctor and cleanup commands without any luck.
How can I fix this without uninstalling brew and all its programs?
I'm wondering about this as well. I switched to an older version of scala, now the formula is missing and I can't install the latest version. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall homebrew for a quickfix for now.
I'm setting up a new Mac for development with Ruby on Rails. I have installed XCode (including command line tools), Homebrew, and RVM properly. However, when I try to install the 2.0.0 Ruby version via RVM, I keep having to install libksba, which tries to install the dependency libgpg-error. The log tells me it's downloading the file, but it never does anything. I've let it run for 30 minutes before and still doesn't do anything. The file is supposed to be a few hundred KB, so it's not very large...Below is the code I'm running:
$ brew install libksba
==> Installing libksba dependency: libgpg-error
==> Downloading ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.11.tar.bz
This will just sit there and do nothing. Is there another repository where I can download the file from and manually install it? It's frustrating to not be able to develop because of simple dependency errors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
These are the formulas associated with libksba and libpgp-error: Homebrew Libksba Formula and Homebrew Libgpg-Error. Try first updating Homebrew, since the discrepancy between the version shown in your logs and the one in the repo tells me is outdated:
brew update
brew install libksba
If that doenst work, then you can download it from here:
url 'ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/libksba-1.3.0.tar.bz2'
url 'ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.11.tar.bz2'
mirror 'http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.11.tar.gz'
So I found out the problem; my network is running through a 2nd router that was blocking FTP. I skipped the 2nd router and connected to the primary router and brew install libksba worked just fine. Credit goes to fmendez who provided a mirror link that led me to check out the router ports for FTP.
For others coming to this question, the above instructions do work for manually downloading and installing the formulas. I also recommend checking out Homebrew Tips n Tricks for additional help on which commands to run.
You can try the following steps ( Ref from here )
cd /usr/local/src
curl -O ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf libgpg-error-1.9.tar.gz
cd libgpg-error-1.9/
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
curl -O ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/libksba-1.2.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvf libksba-1.2.0.tar.bz2
cd libksba-1.2.0/
./configure
make
make install
I'm having some trouble installing jekyll. Can't quite figure out how to patch the missing link. I think it's an update to Ruby, but RVM is having trouble installing alternate versions of ruby as well.
Heres the full post:
$ sudo gem install jekyll
ERROR: Error installing jekyll:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h
Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fast-stemmer-1.0.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fast-stemmer-1.0.1/ext/gem_make.out
Does this mean I need to update the version of ruby I'm using via rvm?
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
gem install jekyll
Your problem is that either you system doesn't know where make is located at or you don't have it installed. The easiest way to fix this (and probably other issues you'll run into trying to get a ruby system up and running) is to install xcode.
You can get it at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12 for lion. Or it came on a CD with your computer for earlier versions.
If you're using Lion, please see comments below for a link to how to install developer tools on Lion.
I had the same error on Ubuntu and this helped me sort it out.
You must have ruby-dev installed
apt-get install ruby-dev
If you installed XCode and command line tools are still missing go to Terminal and
xcode-select --install
it will prompt you to install these tools. After that just follow SrBlanco´s answer. That solved the problem for me.
Good luck.
Need to install "make".
I am using Ubuntu 12.10.
sudo apt-get install make
Should work on any Debian based distro.
Note: this problem also occurs on newer MacBook Pro models that come with Mavericks pre-installed. I updated another post with my own solution that didn't involve Xcode at all. My system had the Xcode developer tools installed when I got the machine.
ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
Install Xcode as mentioned if you don't have it installed already (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/). Plus you need the command line tools.
Open Xcode. Go to Preferences > Downloads > Install Command Line Tools
Installing command line tools for Xcode solved the problem for me on my Mac
xcode-select --install.
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
hope this will help, it works with me.
I had this same exact error when trying to install Jekyll, and the following steps from this link helped me. Just in case anyone else comes across this!
http://davidensinger.com/2013/03/installing-jekyll/
I was facing the same issue in my Fedora 22 setup. I had ruby installed but didn't have ruby-devel. Installing ruby-devel fixed the issue for me.
dnf install -y ruby-devel
For older systems:
yum install -y ruby-devel
I followed this on Ubuntu/Linux Mint
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
An addendum: You can install XCode now from the App Store on Mountain Lion. The process is transparent and pretty fast.
I had the same problems with you.
I use Mac OS X 10.9 develop preview version, and I had installed gcc and Xcode.
But my Xcode version is 4.6.
Then I install the Xcode 5.0
After that I type sudo gem install jekyll in the terminal again. Then it works.
Wish it could help someone.
Installing Xcode and going to perferencs > downloads > install commandline tools WORKS!
Same problem on Debian, I had forgot to run this command:
~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
All these answers did NOT work for me.
If you're looking for a solution on ubuntu 14.04, do this:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev zlib1g-dev nodejs
sudo gem install jekyll -v 2.5.3
Unfortunately, nodejs is required because of a bug in Jekyll that enforces existence of runtime JS engine even though it doesn't need one.
For Ubuntu, this helped in my case:
apt-get install libffi-dev
A general advice is to just follow what is displayed as the reason for the error and hopefully you'll be provided with a log file in which the first line suggests which package should be installed, in my case:
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:
/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.3.0/ffi-1.9.21/mkmf.log
MacOS
my solution to this problem
install xcode
type xcode-select --install in the command line
type sudo gem install jekyll in the command line
PS: It is the combination of the two answers in this question.
You are missing the ruby-dev file , just go ahead and run this command - sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Hope this helps!!
I had the same issue on my macOS(10.14.2), the reason may be:
Apparently with OSX el Capitan, there is a new security function that prevents you from modifying system files called Rootless.
My solution is using rvm:
install ruby on Mac OS X with RVM
gem install jekyll
On windows I have this issue
I actually installed the version rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.3-1-x64 of ruby
I have removed the ruby completely and Installed the rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.5-1-x64
and issued the following commands on powershell
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
and this time no errors where found
I had this issue and of all things, the error was occurring because I hadn't agreed to some updated terms of service in xcode. Running the following did the trick for me. Go figure.
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
For me, I had to upgrade homebrew and install rbenv to the latest ruby version. After that, I followed the instruction at jekyll website. My OS is Catalina 2019, I couldn't install Xcode, which is not compatible yet!
You have to set the path in your .bash_profile to make sure that it initializes the rbenv when you restart your terminal.
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
then
$ rbenv version
2.2.3 (set by /Users/mislav/.rbenv/version)
$ rbenv shell
rbenv: no shell-specific version configured
hope that help!
Here is the (only?) reliable and simple way to install Jekyll on macOS
Install UTM
Install Ubuntu Server
Install Jekyll using Ubuntu instructions at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/ubuntu/
Forward port 22 in the VM settings (22->localhost->22)
Use VS Code on the macOS host
Install Remote SSH
Connect to USER#localhost
Drag and drop the folder on Mac into VS Code (this transfers files to remote)
Enable port forwarding for 4000 (bottom bar on VS Code)
Work on your website
Right click on your website on the file explorer and click download
If you have not done these steps, you might be delighted by:
Ubuntu imports your public SSH key from GitHub
VS Code magically handles file transfer in and out
VS Code magically installs your VS Code extensions onto the remote server and allows file search on the remote host
