I managed to install Ruby 2.1.2 from source on my OS X 10.8 machine but 2.1.4 hangs with `make` at:

compiling dmyext.c
linking miniruby

Any ideas?

gvim

hi gvim,
cant answer your particular question, but, i use rbenv on mac os x for
ruby mgt. note, rbenv also does a compile+install process.

$rbenv versions && ruby -v
  system
  2.1.2
  2.1.3
* 2.1.4 (set by /Users/botp/.ruby-version)
ruby 2.1.4p265 (2014-10-27 revision 48166) [x86_64-darwin14.0]

I can confirm that ruby 2.1.4 compiles fine under Yosemity using 'rvm':

┌─[atma@gauss] - [~/Code/Projects/pritory] - [Τρι Οκτ 28, 09:17]
└─[$] <git:(master*)> rvm list

rvm rubies

* ruby-2.1.2 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-2.1.4 [ x86_64 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
# * - default

Took about ~ 13 minutes to setup on a MBA i5, 4G, SSD.

Sorry, but I have my reasons for not running rvm - mainly the way it messes with my bash env on OS X. I used to use rbenv but every minor Ruby version upgrade required a completely new set of gems so not an option. The reason I install from source is that I don't need endless versions of Ruby and if I do end up installing more than one version I want it using the same $GEM_HOME.

gvim
