Problem installing Ruby 1.9.2 with RVM on OSX 10.4

Question

I successfully installed Ruby 1.8.7 with RVM on OS 10.4. However, when I try to install 1.9.2, I get the following error: make: * [libruby.1.9.1.dylib] Error 1

Installation:

[qm]$ rvm install 1.9.2  
/Users/qm/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)...

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Voilà! Examining once again my previous make.log file for errors I found that probably there was a problem w readline, so I combined few tips, first from noodl's to set up the env var and second from RVM website http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/readline/ to update the readline and use it during rvm ruby 1.9.2 install.

So, before my first post today in this thread I did:

$ rvm package install readline

to get the latest readline library.

What I did afterwards is as follows:

$ rvm remove 1.9.2

And all is set and ready.

$ rvm 1.9.2
$ ruby -v

Good luck!

Have either of you tried just changing that env var?

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 rvm install 1.9.2

Answer 3

Following the tip by noodl from just few minutes ago I tried to set up the env var and got similar problem. Still ruby 1.9.2 is not installed. Underneath is what I did:

$ rvm remove 1.9.2

I have got the same problem on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger (PPC) trying to install ruby 1.9.2. I successfully compiled and installed ruby 1.9.1 thru RVM, but neither 1.9.2 nor 1.8.7 have the same problem using RVM. I did the following steps to get this error.

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]
$ rvm --version
rvm 1.2.2 by Wayne E. Seguin ([e-mail]) [http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

Install Homebrew first - Tiger has a few problems when it comes to Ruby Dev and Brew will help fix them. Once installed just go..

brew install ruby
