rbenv install ruby BUILD FAILED

Question

I\'m quite new to rbenv let alone ruby and having some difficulty diagnosing the following installation failure:

rbenv install 2.0.0-p0
Downloading yaml-0.1.         


        

Answer 1

There seems to be a problem with the Homebrew package "readline".

brew uninstall readline
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0181c8a1633353affefabe257c170edbd6d7c008/Library/Formula/readline.rb
brew pin readline

Then retry installing ruby with

rbenv install 2.0.0-p0
