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

I had the exact same error when running rvm requirements. That log file doesn't give any hints other than a package failed to install.

This is what worked for me:

go from the last package before it fails, in your case sqlite. Then install manually like so:

brew install sqlite

Then run rvm requirements again, it will probably fail at an earlier package. Repeat the steps above.

Answer 2

I run into the described problem on my MacBook 2,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 after executing curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --auto-dotfiles --autolibs=enable --rails. After trying again the installation was successful without making any additional changes.

Give brew&rvm a second chance :)
