ruby-build: using readline from homebrew

Thats it, it just hangs there for eternity.

Answer 1

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-readline-dir="$(brew --prefix readline)" rbenv install 2.0.0

This worked for me, posting the answer so that one in future could save some time.

Answer 2

I thought it had stuck when in fact I had to wait just a little bit. The process shows no sign of any activity and my CPU was not very busy for quite some time. Get a coffee before searching for a solution, installation took almost 5 minutes in my case.
