Rvm Install Ruby-1.9.3-P286: Error Running 'Make -J 9' (Osx: Mountain Lion)

rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p286: Error running 'make -j 9' (OSX: Mountain Lion)

This took me forever to hunt down. Was trying different versions of make, gcc, etc.

It turns out the format of the rvm_make_flags environment variable has changed from a string to an array and was not well communicated or documented. This may apply to all rvm_* env variables, not sure.

Check your ~/.rvmrc and project/path/.rvmrc.

# before
export rvm_make_flags="-j 9"

# after
export rvm_make_flags=(-j 9)

After making this change everything compiled cleanly.

Error installing Ruby with RVM: make -j argument

I would say that somehow make is being invoked with '-j 4', that is, the space is being included in the argument, which means make is trying to parse the string " 4" (space + 4) as a number and space is not an integer so it fails.

Have you done something like add a line like this to your rvmrc file:

export rvm_make_flags="-j 4"

? You should remove the whitespace here, it should just be "-j4".

Try rvm install 2.5.0 --disable-dtrace

Error installing any ruby version with RVM on OSX

I ran into the same issue, you need to manually install all the required packages using Brew. For me I had to run the following installs:

brew install autoconf
brew install automake
brew install libtool
brew install apple-gcc42
brew install libyaml
brew install libxslt
brew install libksba
brew install openssl

You just need to keep running "rvm requirements" and reading the log and installing the packages needed until there are no more errors.

Error running '__rvm_make -j 1' during rvm Ruby installation | openssl error

Looks like there is a problem with openssl.

rvm uses homebrew as its package manager on my installation (it's the default I guess). You can ensure that with rvm autolibs homebrew.

I reinstalled openssl with

brew reinstall openssl

and saw via brew list that there was another openssl package called openssl098 installed on my system. Trying to reinstall it too caused the following error:

> brew reinstall openssl098
Error: No available formula with the name "openssl098"

I just removed the package with

brew uninstall --force openssl098

and reinstalled openssl again to be sure openssl098 wasn't a needed dependency. But it wasn't installed again.

Afterwards I tried installing ruby-2.2.4 via rvm again and it worked like a charm :) So I guess my openssl package was broken for some reason.

Error running '__rvm_make -j4' when installing ruby 2.1.10 on ubuntu 18.04

First try this:

rvm reload
rvm install ruby-2.1.10

If you get same errors try installing with this patch, based on @mark 's comment,
you can use a patch file, but of course you probably wanna view the patch before running, it seems to correct SSL version problems.

View the patch from here

Then try install your version with the patch:

rvm install ruby-2.1.10 --patch https://gist.github.com/mislav/055441129184a1512bb5.txt

Error running 'make -j2' when installing RVM

This error occurs when you compile Ruby with clang => https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7830

Unless you are interested in testing Ruby/clang compatibility you would be better with compiling ruby using gcc-4.2 (see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5883 for details)

Skip the --ruby flag from the installer:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

RVM has a command to install all required packages using homebrew:

rvm requirements run force

In case homebrew is not available it will display the list of required packages.

Alternative there is a patch that could make it working with clang, install ruby using:

rvm install 1.9.3-p385 --patch https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/download/3496/disable-werror.patch -C --disable-werror
