Hi!
I was building vim from source on macOS with --enable-rubyinterp and inside
default rvm environment and encountered an error during build.
The error was that ld couldn’t find the ruby.2.4.1 library. Upon more thorough
inspection of the build log, I found that although configure script found ruby
include dir correctly, it didn’t find the library path.
The configuration script used a check for whether ruby command `ruby -r
rbconfig -e 'print RbConfig::CONFIG["LIBRUBY_A"]’`returned ‘libruby.a’ do
decide that it is on macOS and act accordingly. In fact, that command returns
'libruby.2.4.1-static.a’ on my configuration (I believe it is not so much
specific to my configuration, since macOS default ruby returns similar value).
To accomodate for that difference, I propose the following patch to
configure.ac:
diff --git a/src/configure.ac b/src/configure.ac
index 938a77f91..1b031d52a 100644
--- a/src/configure.ac
+++ b/src/configure.ac

With regards, Ilya Mikhaltsou.
P.S. Also, there is a question of why `elif test "$librubyarg" = "libruby.a"`
is not `elif test "$librubya" = "libruby.a"`. Did I miss some old obscure usage?
