Fresh Installs of RVM and Ruby 2.1.1 - dyld library/pathing error

Question

I have been trying to install RVM and Ruby 2.1.1 onto my new Mac (OS 10.9.2), and everything seems to be going well until I try to install any version of Ruby.

My input

$ rvm reinstall 2.1

So far so good...

ruby-2.1.1 - #removing rubies/ruby-2.1.1..

I have repeatedly tried deleting, imploding, removing and un/reinstalling all of my RVM components and Ruby versions, but it doesn't make a difference -- I still get this error. Curiously, the broken path refers to an "mpapis" who is one of the developers of RVM.

Any help?

Answer 1

It looks it's a temporary bug: https://twitter.com/mpapis/status/447926386314186752. The disable-binary option worked for me:

rvm reinstall 2.1.1 --disable-binary

EDIT - better solution

I see that some people still have this problem. Today much better solution is to update RVM like this:

rvm get stable

The problem was caused by RVM - it had some paths hard-coded into ruby binary versions. But this issue was already fixed and currently there's no need in compiling ruby locally. All you need is to get most recent RVM version.

Bonn

Thanks so much, that did the trick. I was worried that only the error message was hard-coded with a bad path and that it was still a fundamental problem on my end! – Chagall

I'm a javascript guy and this rvm business can be a pain. Thanks for making this not painful. – Sniffy

Thanks, this solved the problem for me as well. One question though, will the --disable-binary flag have any adverse side effects? What exactly does this flag do? – Pokey

@Leif, it means that rvm will download source code and compile it on your computer. Without this flag rvm downloads already compiled binary distribution. – Bonn

I had the same issue with rvm and ruby 2.1.3. --disable-binary cured that as well – Irisirisa

They just released 2.1.4 yesterday. I had the same problem and using --disable-binary fixed the problem. – Marker

The problem is in RVM, not in Ruby. So updating RVM should work for all rubies. I will update my answer. – Bonn

Answer 2

as per https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2732 :

rvm reinstall 2.1.1 --disable-binary

should allow you to install it.

also setting your "rvm use" to the most recent version of ruby on your "rvm list" also helped me.

and the issue is now closed on github, so in a couple of days (question : does anyone know the usual turn around for rvm patches?) the fix should be up on the rvm.io site and running "rvm get stable" will update your intallation with the patch
