Command-T won't compile for Vim

I'm trying to install Command-T for Vim, but no success so far.

I reinstalled vim using brew and the ruby version for vim is 2.5.1

I installed ruby 2.5.1 using RVM, I ran ruby ruby extconf.rb, I got this output

checking for float.h... yes
checking for ruby.h... yes
checking for stdlib.h... yes
checking for string.h... yes
checking for fcntl.h... yes
checking for stdint.h... yes
checking for sys/errno.h... yes
checking for sys/socket.h... yes
checking for ruby/st.h... yes
checking for st.h... yes
checking for pthread_create() in -lpthread... yes
creating Makefile

then I ran make and got it:

compiling ext.c
compiling heap.c
compiling match.c
compiling matcher.c
compiling watchman.c
linking shared-object ext.bundle

But when I try to use it on my vim, I got the following message:

command-t.vim could not load the C extension.
Please see INSTALLATION and TROUBLE-SHOOTING in the help.
Vim Ruby version: 2.5.1-p57
For more information type:    :help command-t

If I use ruby version 2.5.0 to compile, the message says that I got the wrong version of ruby.

I have no idea what else I could do, please help me

The problem is that you have to compile command-t C extension with the same ruby as vim compiled.

You mention that you are using RVM and that vim compiled with ruby 2.5.1-p57. You need to choose exact same ruby. If you compile (in your case installed with brew) vim with ruby 2.5.1-p57 from RVM then run command:

$ rvm use 2.5.1-p57

Then recompile command-t, make sure ruby -v returns 2.5.1-p57:

$ ruby -v

$ ruby extconf.rb

$ make

If this doesn't helps, probably you installed it with system wide ruby with the same 2.5.1 version. This can solve the issue:

$ rvm use system

$ ruby extconf.rb

$ make

The idea to compile command-t with the same version of ruby as vim compiled.

In worse case scenario you can reinstall vim.

Also you can reference the command-t docs
