I'm quite new to rbenv let alone ruby and having some difficulty diagnosing the following installation failure:

Solution 1

There seems to be a problem with the Homebrew package "readline".

brew uninstall readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

Then retry installing ruby with

rbenv install 2.0.0-p0

Solution 2

I needed to update my command line tools.

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools Then sudo xcode-select --install

Thanks, that worked. So which line from the log tipped you off?

@Lv.BeLeCk I am having the same problem here with the latest version of Ruby. I am on Ubuntu. When I enter the brew commands I am told no such command exists, even when running git. What should I do?
