Ruby 2.0.1 preview install problem

I've compiled Ruby 2.0.1preview1 but `make install` produces this:

ruby: invalid option --disable=gems (-h will show valid options)
make: *** [known_errors.inc] Error 2

How to fix?

gvim

That's a bug. You're prolly trying to bootstrap off of 1.8 and it doesn't support that flag.

This sucks, please report the bug to ruby-core@.

You can try building 1.9 first. Make sure it is installed to a location in your path earlier than your stock ruby, then build 2.

It's not quite so straightforward as I installed successfully on a - to my knowledge - identical setup on my Macbook Pro running 10.8. The error was from an installation on a Mac desktop running 10.8. Both machines have the following setup:

- rbenv and ruby-build installed via MacPorts
- build dir for ruby 2.1 is $HOME/.rbenv/dev
- `configure --prefix=/sw` required gobjcopy and friends so installed binutils on the desktop. Already installed on Macbook
- both machines running ruby 2.0.0p247 installed via rbenv

Fixed. Thanks. Digging deeper, the PATH setup was slightly different on each machine.
