Installing Ruby 1.8.7-p358 with rbenv on Mountain Lion

gistfile1.txt

Follow the instructions here: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Riding a 
Mountain Lion http://j.mp/Qm5UJD, including installing XQuartz.

After installing XQuartz set the correct path to the X11 library to 
install Ruby 1.8.7-p358 with rbenv:

  export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include

then let the compiler know where gcc-4.2 is:

  CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rbenv install 1.8.7-p358

This also works with 1.8.7-p371

Thanks Mate! Also worked for ree-1.8.7-2012.02

works like a charm :)

Thanks !

Thank you!

Thanks!

Still working! ;) [ruby-1.8.7-p371]

Thanks!

Here is how to do it on Mavericks using a slightly newer version of gcc + ruby

brew install gcc47
CC=gcc-4.7 rbenv install 1.8.7-p375
rbenv global 1.8.7-p375
source ~/.zshrc
