An error occurred while installing racc (1.6.1), and Bundler cannot continue-CodePudding

HW: Mac Intel silicon
OS: MacOS Ventura - Version 13.1
ruby 3.1.0p0 (2021-12-25 revision fb4df44d16) [x86_64-darwin21]
rails 7.0.2.2

After I installed the MacOS Ventura update, I was getting an error as I was trying to do 'bundle install', and got some errors.

I googled some, and then did the following:

xcode-select --install

When that was finished, I also made sure sure developer tools access to Terminal (through the settings UI).

I ran bundle install again, same results:

bundle install used to work fine. I also checked and I do not have a

/usr/local/bin/gmkdir

or

/opt/local/bin/gmkdir

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

That compile process is looking for a gnu version of mkdir with the name ‘gmkdir’. This is an attempt to make the process work on windows.

Since the macOS version of mkdir is probably adequate, you can just create an alias to mkdir called ‘gmkdir’ in /user/local/bin’.

This is a hack until that gem install process is updated to realise that it’s on macOS and doesn’t try to build based on defaults for an unknown OS.

CodePudding user response：

I tried all the suggestions, but none worked. The solution was:

brew link --overwrite coreutils
