Error running '__rvm_make install'

I'm new to programming trying to add Ruby 2.2 using RVM and receiving the below error. I've run rvm get stable and tried reinstalling, but getting the same error.

$ rvm reinstall ruby-2.2.0

On Mac M3, I resolved the issue by running Terminal as Rosetta as mentioned this article https://medium.com/@nelliemckesson/install-ruby-with-rvm-on-an-m3-pro-mac-784718bdb72a

This worked for me:

arch -x86_64 rvm install 3.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]

This brilliant answer on github has solved the problem for me. The solution is to simply use openssl while installing the version of ruby you wish to install. For example, to install ruby v2.7.8, run the command:

rvm install ruby-2.7.8 --with-openssl-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]

I had this error when I tried to install ruby-2.7.5. The following steps helped me install it without errors.

Update the RVM installer by running rvm get head from the terminal.

If this step fails, you might want to update curl by running brew install curl

Now install [email protected] as ruby-2.7.5 requires the same. You can do it by running brew install [email protected]. Once done, update your .zshrc or .zshenv with the env variables suggested by the installation.

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"

Now install ruby-2.7.5 by running rvm install 2.7.5

PS: I also ran the following command after installing [email protected] to fix the issues with the CA certs as suggested by the installation report. /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/c_rehash

I also had to face the same problem while installation ruby's in ubutnu 22.04 I resolved by these

rvm pkg install openssl rvm install ruby-2.7.3 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Having the same issue in October 2022, solved by refreshing the keys running

gpg2 --refresh-keys

Or you can try

gpg --refresh-keys

If you don't have gpg2 installed.

As RVM says in their docs:

It is a good practice to periodically refresh keys status to ensure none of them got revoked. You can also add it to cron.

RubyGems is more secure now and you must have openssl installed for rvm to work. rvm doesn't come with the newest openssl libs out of the box, so for now you have to add its package, and also specify the path to your openssl configuration when installing a new ruby. The nature of the error doesn't really present itself, and it's a bit of a pain when installing new rubies, but maybe this will be changed in the future.

To verify if this is your situation, if you still have access to your log file, check it to see if it is failing on the openssl library. Alternatively, you can run ruby -ropenssl -e "puts :OK" to see if you get an error (this assumes you have a different ruby version installed you can use).

If either are true, then follow these two OS-agnostic steps:

rvm pkg install openssl

Then either

rvm install <ruby version here> --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

rvm reinstall <ruby version here> --force --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

...based on whether it was a new or pre-existing install of ruby.

This error got me scratching my head when installing ruby through RVM on an M1 Macbook:

Error running '__rvm_make -j10',
please read /Users/copmputer/.rvm/log/1640263012_ruby-2.4.0/make.log

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

First you need to inspect the file make.log and see what the underlying error is. In my case it was:

error: implicit declaration of function 'ffi_prep_closure' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

I found the complete solution to my problem on this GitHub page. Here it is:

Step 1 Run in terminal: brew info libffi which will output the following:

For compilers to find libffi you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/include"

For pkg-config to find libffi you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig"

Step 2 Run all 3 export commands in terminal to set the env variables.

Step 3 Finally, run the ruby installation command. In my case, it was:

rvm install ruby-2.4.0

That's it.

In case you're using rbenv there's another working solution in that GH thread.

The issue could be with an outdated version of xcode. Try updating xcode from the app store. Then run brew upgrade. After that, you should be able to successfully install ruby with your rvm command.
