Dear all, How are you? I hope all is well with you. I need help please. I’m struggling to install Ruby 3.4.1 on my MacBook Air (Mid 2011) running BigSur 11.7.10.
I’m trying to go by the books (https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv). First I installed rbenv and ruby-build ports via MacPorts. Ruby installation with rbenv install 3.4.1 was crushing due to missing psych. According to suggestions on the internet I installed libyaml and openssl ports to help rbenv. The attempt with RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/local/lib --with-libyaml-dir=/opt/local/lib" rbenv install 3.4.1 still fails with the following error: ==> Downloading ruby-3.4.1.tar.gz... -> curl -q -fL -o ruby-3.4.1.tar.gz https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.4/ruby-3.4.1.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 22.0M 100 22.0M 0 0 3835k 0 0:00:05 0:00:05 --:--:-- 4122k ==> Installing ruby-3.4.1... -> ./configure "--prefix=$HOME/.rbenv/versions/3.4.1" --enable-shared --with-ext=openssl,psych,+ --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local/lib --with-libyaml-dir=/opt/local/lib -> make -j 4 *** Following extensions are not compiled: openssl: Could not be configured.

You might want to fix this error in one of the following ways. * Recompile OpenSSL by configuring it with --libdir=lib to specify the OpenSSL library directory. * Recompile Ruby by configuring it with --libdir=<dir> to specify the Ruby library directory. * Compile this openssl gem with --with-openssl-include=<dir> and --with-openssl-lib=<dir> options to specify the OpenSSL include and library directories.

BUILD FAILED (macOS 11.7.10 on x86_64 using ruby-build 20250130) Now rbenv doesn’t see openssl as well. Any help on how to resolve this issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead! — Best wishes, Maxim Maxim Abalenkov \\ [email protected] +44 7 486 486 505 \\ www.maxim.abalenkov.uk
