Mac OS - m1: Can't install ruby 2.7.5 because of an error from configure-CodePudding

I need to install ruby 2.7.5 for my react native app but I can't install 2.7.5 through rvm. I tried many things to install any ruby version, I ended up to get this configure error.

Error running './configure --prefix=/Users/myname/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1 --disable-install-doc --enable-shared',
please read /Users/myname/.rvm/log/1672107647_ruby-2.1.1/configure.log
There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.

Here is the configure log

I tried...

remove rvm and reinstall

rvm install 2.7.5
rvm install ruby-2.7.5

use rbenv
install openssl

brew install openssl
rvm install 2.6.7 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl

remove rvm by using rvm implode

all those throw same error message. After trying 4., all ruby versions are removed but still can't install any ruby version.

Please help!!!

Edit I tried CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rvm install 2.7.5

and got this error

rvm install 2.7.5

this returns same error but I got this configure log

Add Command Line Tools:

Ensure the command line tools are correctly installed. We might need to reinstall Xcode after OS upgrades.

Here are the exact steps to follow assuming we have openssl installed

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"

export RUBY_CFLAGS=-DUSE_FFI_CLOSURE_ALLOC
export optflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include"
CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])" 
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])"
rvm install 2.7.5

CodePudding user response：

Do you have xcode developer tools installed? Run this "xcode-select --install"

xcode-select --install

Once you have developer tools installed you may need to refer to this comment:-
