Error installing Ruby 1.9 with RVM under Snow Leopard

Question

Hello
I've got some problems to get Ruby 1.9.2 compiling with rvm (Ruby Version Manger) under Snow Leopard.
I want everything possibly to be 64-Bit so I already added

ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

to my .bash_profile.

Then, when running:

rvm install 1.9.2 -C --enable-shared

I get an error during compiling. Here is the make.error.log:

[2010-01-20 10:03:00] make 
ld: in /usr/local/lib/libxml2.2.dylib, file is not of required architecture
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../../.ext/i386-darwin10.2.0/tcltklib.bundle] Error 1
make: *** [mkmain.sh] Error 1

Hope someone can help me with this.

EDIT:

Installed readline form source and tried to install like this:

rvm install 1.9.2 -C --enable-shared,--with-readline-dir=/usr/local 

which change anything

the path of the rcltklib.bundle file is:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin9.7.0/tcltklib.bundle  

It seems that this is a part of the rubyosx installation

Answer 1

You are setting ARCHFLAGS to two different architectures. Why? Try with only -arch -x86_64 (which as far as I know, is the default in snow leopard).

Answer 2

Now, finally I figured it out.
I did install ruby 1.8.7 from rubyosx and there seemed to be some broken libraries, which rvm used to compile its rubies.

The solution is to remove the rubyosx ruby from /usr/local.

The less drastic solution is to just rename the /usr/local folder during compiling with rvm. Afterwards you can name it back and it works as expected.

Glad it works now.
