when I run
rvm install 1.9.2
I get an error trying to run autoconf. This is the stacktrace:
kenmare:ruby-1.9.2-p0 lee$ rvm install 1.9.2-p0
/Users/lee/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)...
ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #fetching
ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #extracted to /Users/lee/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p0 (already extracted)
Running autoconf
Error running 'autoconf', please check /Users/lee/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p0/autoconf.error.log
Skipping configure step, 'configure' does not exist, did autoconf not run successfully?
ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #compiling
Error running 'make ', please check /Users/lee/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p0/make.error.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Any ideas? Thanks!
UPDATE: Sorry it was late and didn't give some obvious info. I am on a mac running 10.6.4. The autoconf log says:
autoconf: no input file
To the answer regarding make, when I run
which make
/usr/bin/make
And I have am running 1.8.7 successfully with rvm. I only receive this problem when installing 1.9.2. Thanks again!
This happened to me because my rvm version was old
rvm list known
wasn't showing ruby 1.9.3 as one of the options for me
I did:
rvm get head
I figured it out. The key is this line:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #extracted to /Users/lee/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p0 (already extracted)
Apparently if there is an error during your first attempt the directory for the 1.9.2 package is not removed. (In my case, the autoconf files were not properly downloaded.) Any subsequent attempts see the directory and does not attempt to download the package again.
You need to remove the ruby-1.9.2-p0 directory. I assume this could be a problem with any version.
Hope this helps someone else.
I just had a similar problem. In addition to what Lee did to solve, I also had to remove the corresponding ruby's tar file from .rvm/archives so it would download a fresh copy that was not corrupt/incomplete.
In my case I had to upgrade RVM. Running this in the shell took care of upgrading:
