Application Development with Lex Sheehan: Upgrading to ruby 2.1.1 on OSX

I prefer to use rbenv to manage my system rubies.

Commands to install new version of ruby via rbenv


$ brew update
$ brew upgrade ruby-build
$ rbenv install 2.1.1
$ rbenv rehash

If you notices compilation errors such as the following, then provide a reference to the readline dynamic library via the RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS environment variable.

Compilation Error


linking shared-object objspace.bundle
readline.c: In function ‘Init_readline’:
readline.c:1977: error: ‘Function’ undeclared (first use in this function)
readline.c:1977: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
readline.c:1977: error: for each function it appears in.)
readline.c:1977: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token
make[2]: *** [readline.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [ext/readline/all] Error 2

Pass readline's dynamic library reference to rbenv install command


(RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-readline-dir="/usr/lib/libreadline.dylib" rbenv install 2.1.1)

Console

Here's the console log that shows errors along the way and the eventual successful installation of ruby 2.1.1.
