flutter doctor - CocoaPods installed but not working


using zsh - use to work in bash
brew doctor - Your system is ready to brew.
flutter doctor gives this error

[!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 12.2)
    ✗ CocoaPods installed but not working.
        You appear to have CocoaPods installed but it is not working.
        This can happen if the version of Ruby that CocoaPods was installed with is different from the one being used to invoke it.
        This can usually be fixed by re-installing CocoaPods. For more info, see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14293.
      To re-install CocoaPods, run:
        sudo gem install cocoapods  

sudo gem install cocoapods

Gives this error  
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gmp4/lib/libgmp.3.5.2.dylib  
  Referenced from: /Users/puser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.5.1/bin/ruby  
  Reason: image not found  
zsh: abort      sudo gem install cocoapods  

I can't get this error above corrected - any suggestions?

    \typeset result
    (
        \typeset rvmrc
        rvm_rvmrc_files=("/etc/rvmrc" "$HOME/.rvmrc") 
        if [[ -n "${rvm_prefix:-}" ]] && ! [[ "$HOME/.rvmrc" -ef "${rvm_prefix}/.rvmrc" ]]
        then
            rvm_rvmrc_files+=("${rvm_prefix}/.rvmrc")

        do
            [[ -s "${rvmrc}" ]] && source "${rvmrc}" || true

Solution

  • Using the suggestion for this post, I was able to get cocoapods reinstalled with the commands below
    gem native extension error while installing cocoapods

    Open Terminal

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

    Reopen Terminal

    rvm install ruby-2.6
    
    rvm use ruby-2.6.5
    
    rvm --default use 2.6.5
    

    Then this installed cocoapods as expected

    sudo gem install cocoapods
