ERROR: Error installing cocoapods: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Question

I am trying to install cocoapods to my MacBook Pro running with OSX 10.9.1 (new Mavericks) and after type gem install cocoapods I get the following error:

Answer 1

My way to solved:

First of all, i have new mac os 10.15.7 and Xcode

None of previous solutions worked for me too

I note that pods install in Library 2.6.0 and decided that it needs to be updated:

step 1

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

Ok!

Then i checked version: 2.6.0 - Why? In last string after install ruby, i noticed:

• To start using RVM you need to run source /Users/abazhanov/.rvm/scripts/rvm in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.

ok, let's do it:

step 2

source /Users/abazhanov/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Then i checked version: 2.7.0 - its ok!

step 3

sudo gem install cocoapods 

As a result: 34 gems installed

I understand that the new version of Pods simply did not install on the old version of Ruby
