Failed to install ruby 2.5.0 thru rbenv macOS High Sierra

Question

I am using macOS High Sierra and have been trying to install ruby 2.5.0 thru rbenv but keep getting error as following

Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)

I tried brew doctor and brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build before install rbenv install -v 2.5.0

still getting the same error

Is anyone know how to solve this issue?

Answer 1

I was getting crazy and nothing worked, but disabling the antivirus did the trick for me
(using Ruby 2.5.1 on High Sierra and Avira)

Answer 2

I had similar problem while installing ruby with ruby-build (used by rbenv and others) and I've avoided it for now using following work-around.

This seems to be due to the dtrace being update with macOS 10.3.3.

First try this, sudo chmod -s /usr/sbin/dtrace

If that doesn't work then disable dtrace while installing ruby

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-dtrace" rbenv install 2.5.0

You can also export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-dtrace" to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

The maintaner of rbenv/ruby-build has notified this to ruby core team and hopefully be fixed soon.
