Answer 1

Yes, this is a known issue upstream: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17777 ruby-build is also tracking this issue: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1489

The work around is to run the following code, and install ruby 2.6.7 again:

$ export warnflags=-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration
$ rbenv install 2.6.7

-or-

$ CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rbenv install 2.6.7

Looks like this can also impact gem installation with native extensions (mysql2 is one of those):

gem install <GEMNAME> -- --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"

Answer 2

I had the same issue in RVM, following solution worked for me.

CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rvm install 2.6.0

Answer 3

I faced the same problem, the easiest way is to install 2.6.9 later version, everything will be ok.

If you really need older version ruby, you can try to use [email protected]. If it still is error. Maybe see this blog enter link description here, which doesn't use arm one.

Answer 4

Please check this it works for me.

brew install openssl
rvm install 2.6.7 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl

Gormless

You can use this rvm install 2.5.3 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected] – Gormless

Answer 5

Provided you have homebrew installed on an M1, these two steps seem to solve the issue.

brew install libffi

LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/include" rvm install 2.7.7

Answer 6

As shown in this Issue on Github, the issue is due to the version of openssl that is used. I had to download an old version of openssl and bind it to the ruby installation.

You can download the required version here.

Then run these commands:

$> tar -xzf openssl-OpenSSL_1_0_2u.tar.gz
$> cd openssl-1.0.2u
$> ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --prefix=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
$> make
$> make test
$> sudo make install
$> rvm install 2.6.7 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

Update the version you want to use for ruby in the last command.

You will maybe need to run:

$> rvm osx-ssl-certs update all
