Error running 'requirements_osx_brew_libs_install…' on Mac 10.7

Question

Trying to install brew on a last generation Macbook Pro and keep getting the following error:

Error running \'requirements_osx_brew_libs_install autoconf

Answer 1

Had similar issues on a new OS X Mountain Lion install.

Followed tutorial http://www.moncefbelyamani.com/how-to-install-xcode-homebrew-git-rvm-ruby-on-mac/ until step 6 when I got this error. Also checked log file which didn't indicate exact problem.

Decided to verify if RVM had installed.

type rvm | head -1

Didn't show rvm as being 'sourced'. So, opened new terminal to check. Sure enough, new terminal returned rvm is a function. So, closed older terminal session & re-copied install rvm script into new terminal.

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enable

After this, all went well. Did not do any manual installs. One slight detour I took was to brew install pkg-config after reading the post Error installing any ruby version with RVM on OSX just before running the above curl command again - this was likely unnecessary too.

Then,

rvm use 2.0.0 --default

You might get a message:

>A RVM version 1.20.11 (stable) is installed yet 1.20.10 (stable) is loaded.
Please do one of the following:
  * 'rvm reload'
  * open a new shell
  * 'echo rvm_auto_reload_flag=1 >> ~/.rvmrc' # for auto reload with msg.
  * 'echo rvm_auto_reload_flag=2 >> ~/.rvmrc' # for silent auto reload.

Type dvm reload or one of the other options. Verify with dvm -v, ruby -v
