Ruby 2.4.2 fails to build on Ubuntu 16.04 #1146

kuroda · 2017-11-06T06:16:09Z

I have installed Ruby 2.4.1 successfully on my Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop, but failed to build Ruby 2.4.2.

Here are the last lines of error log:

I have the same problem on ubuntu 17.10 for all ruby versions I have tried to install

Re-installing rbenv did not seem to help.

kuroda · 2017-11-13T13:09:53Z

[UPDATE]

I succeeded to install Ruby 2.4.2 on the clean installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop.

It seems that something goes wrong on my working Ubuntu 16.04.

I will close this issue after researching just a little bit more.

kuroda · 2017-11-13T13:39:28Z

I have not detected the root cause of the problem, I found a workaround:

Build openssl from the source:

$ cd /tmp
$ curl -LO https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.0f
$ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f
$ make
$ sudo make install

Build ruby with CONFIGURE_OPTS environment variable:

$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f" rbenv install 2.4.2

[UPDATE]

You also need to install cacert.pem in order to make SSL connections:

$ sudo wget -O /opt/openssl/1.1.0f/ssl/cert.pem http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

casperl · 2017-11-17T12:00:27Z

I have the same problem. Apt-Get installed versiion on Ubuntu 17.10 is Ruby Build version: 20161225-1
No version of Ruby installs now through rbenv. Error reportd:
BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 17.10 using ruby-build 20170914-5-gf41e847) .... ends in "segmentation fault, core dumped."
Since rbenv appears to have a gem version of ruby-build (did "gem update" under rbenv do this, because I did not?) I issued "gem uninstall ruby-build) and ran "rbenv install 2.3.1" using the Ubuntu installed version of Ruby-Build, but the same error and version number of Ruby-build appears.

Next step to is to uninstall + purge rbenv and to sea if Ubuntu supplied Ruby will be sufficient for my needs.

casperl · 2017-11-17T12:42:04Z

Purging rbenv and the ~/.rbenv directory and a clean install of rbenv performed.
Running "rbenv install 2.3.1" produced a similar error:

kuroda · 2017-11-17T15:25:35Z

@casperl I think your problem is different from mine.

I don't encounter with any segmentation faults. My problem is related to linker.

kuroda · 2017-11-17T15:30:00Z

@casperl

According to a bug report, you shoud type:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6
$ CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6 rbenv install 2.3.1

m-rwash · 2017-12-08T02:02:29Z

@kuroda that worked for me. Thanks!

kuroda · 2017-12-25T17:18:02Z

Upon the release of Ruby 2.5.0, I tried to build on my Ubuntu 16.04. I got following error messages:

BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 16.04 using ruby-build 20171215-3-ga97a138)

As I did for Ruby 2.4.2, after building the openssl from the source, I succeeded to compile ruby with this command:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f" rbenv install 2.5.0

mrvijaycode · 2018-05-04T15:16:43Z

I am also getting the similar error, please could you help me.

goermine · 2018-07-25T09:56:17Z

Did you try to install this (below) list of dependency to your Ubuntu system ?:
sudo apt-get install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm3 libgdbm-de
For me these stuff have fixed issue.

kubakrzempek · 2018-11-27T13:22:06Z

As far as I know, (and tested) Ruby versions < 2.4 requires libssl1.0, while >2.4 libssl1.1+. The two libssl packages conflict with each other, so you can't have both of them, so I had to juggle the libs in order to install the required ruby version. To make things even funnier (or more complicated), Ruby <2.4 tends to require gcc-6 instead of the current upstream version (which is 7).
So, usually it looks like that:

# for ruby <2.4
apt install libssl1.0-dev
CC=$(which gcc-6) rbenv install `version`

# for ruby >2.4
apt install libssl-dev
rbenv install `version`

I also faced this problem. This resource helped me to solve the problem.

MatzFan · 2019-03-22T15:35:18Z

Can this issue not be closed, as both the gcc-6 and libssl dependencies for earlier Rubies are documented in the wiki (here and here)?

After installing gcc-6 and libssl1.0-dev I was able to install both pre and post 2.4 Rubies on Ubuntu 18.04 as per the solution offered by @kubakrzempek without a problem. BTW it appears I do have both libssl libraries installed:

$ /sbin/ldconfig -pv|grep libssl
   libssl3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl3.so
   libssl.so.1.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
   libssl.so.1.0.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
   libssl.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so

robclancy · 2019-04-17T18:44:03Z

Why should it be closed? What's the point of using a tool that works with all ruby envs if you have to dive into the docs for a compile error? At the very least it should check for these dependencies before building and get them or tell you they are missing so you can install them.

jmig5776 · 2019-05-12T21:16:31Z

@kubakrzempek

# for ruby <2.4
apt install libssl1.0-dev
CC=$(which gcc-6) rbenv install `version`

# for ruby >2.4
apt install libssl-dev
rbenv install `version`

this worked very well.

bcawrse · 2019-08-14T15:44:23Z

# for ruby <2.4
apt install libssl1.0-dev
CC=$(which gcc-6) rbenv install `version`

# for ruby >2.4
apt install libssl-dev
rbenv install `version`

saved me installing an older Ruby version for a project I inherited.
