How to install Ruby 2.5.9 on newer systems
Raw
ruby-2-5-9-install.sh
# On Jan 23 2024, I had a very difficult time installing ruby 2.5.9 on my Manjaro Linux system using rbenv.
# I already had openssl 1.1 installed, yet I had difficulty getting rbenv to use the correct openssl.
# I also installed the latest version of ruby-build which did not seem to help
# This is what helped. I created a shell script with the following content, did chmod u+x and ran it:
# This was adapted from here for my Linux system: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1691#issuecomment-777102931
export LDFLAGS="-L/lib/openssl-1.1"
export CPPFLAGS="-L/lib/openssl-1.1"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/lib/openssl-1.1/pkgconfig"
export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/lib/openssl-1.1"
rbenv install 2.5.9
# Next steps
# gem install bundler -v 1.17.3
# bundle install
