Ruby compile failed while installing on Mountain Lion 10.8?

This is the command I entered in the terminal while following "Ruby on Rails development with Mac OS X Mountain Lion", and its result:

rbenv install 2.0.0-p247

Please help!

Solution

  • /usr/local/bin/ruby-build: line 387: make: command not found means rbenv can't compile Ruby because the necessary tools aren't available.

    1. Have you installed Xcode?
    2. Have you installed its associated command-line applications? That's the second step needed, and is found inside the Xcode application.
    3. Have you recently updated Xcode? If so, you might need to update the command-line tools too.
