On macOS Mojave, rbenv install 2.6.1 hangs at "use realline from homebrew"

On macOS Mojave, rbenv install 2.6.1 hangs at "use realline from homebrew"

First install readline from homebrew

brew install readline
brew link --force readline

This fixed it for me:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-readline-dir="$(brew --prefix readline)" rbenv install 2.6.1

Identify location readline and run command export env LDFLAGS like this example

example on my macbook:

export LDFLAGS="-L/Users/tamnguyen/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/readline/8.0.0/lib"

Enjoy :D
