Build Failure on WSL: Ubuntu 22.04 on x86_64 using ruby-build 20231107

[nzifnab]

I have installed rbenv and ruby-build using homebrew and installed the dependencies using apt-get as described here: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/wiki#ubuntudebianmint

Environment Details

zifnab:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.

I can't seem to install any version of ruby using rbenv (Though this worked fine a few months ago).

When I try to install with rbenv install 3.0.6 --verbose, this is the full output:
https://gist.github.com/nzifnab/5515ecadf74aa2bae830cff962bd91c1

And here is the error in the log itself:

compiling time.c

The error line itself changes each time I try to install, for instance, a 2nd run gives me the error here (rest is truncated for brevity):

compiling time.c
compiling transcode.c
compiling transient_heap.c
during RTL pass: bbro
parse.y: In function ‘reduce_nodes’:

        ???:0

And yet another time, like this:

compiling thread.c

compiling transcode.c
during RTL pass: *free_cfg
gc.c: In function ‘gc_update_object_references’:
gc.c:9297:1: internal compiler error: in insert_section_boundary_note, at bb-reorder.c:2619

        ???:0
0xd71eca fancy_abort(char const*, int, char const*)
        ???:0
Please submit a full bug report,

As you can see, each time seems to fail with a different error line, and I'm at a loss as to what's going on here.

When trying to install rbenv install 3.2.2, the installer will frequently hang instead of giving an error, here:

And then it just sits there not doing anything

When trying to use rbenv install 3.2.2

I've also tried locking the openssl version when installing ruby 3.2.2:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-open-ssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)" rbenv install 3.2.2 --verbose

But it's still hanging every time it hits that touch yjit/target/release/libyjit.a line.

I'm still unclear why the ruby 3.0.6 install was failing, but I have a working version of that in a different instance of WSL so I'm not going to worry about it... looking at that working instance, I suspect it has something to do with openssl:

zifnab:~$ ruby --version
ruby 3.0.6p216 (2023-03-30 revision 23a532679b) [x86_64-linux]
zifnab:~$ ruby -r openssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION'
OpenSSL 1.1.1t  7 Feb 2023

1.1.1t... so when trying a modern install with openssl 3, is that why it's failing horribly and giving segfaults and the like?

I was able to get ruby 3.2.2 installed by using openssl 3.1 from homebrew and DISABLING yjit:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-open-ssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3) --disable-yjit" rbenv install 3.2.2 --verbose

I'll be honest... I don't know what yjit does, and afaik we don't use rust, but I have no idea why it was hanging on that with no error. I left it for 2 hours and came back and it was still hung on that same line. This latest one seems to have worked by disabling that

Man @osmanbowser! Thanks for your help!
This worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04:

4. sudo apt-get install git-core zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev software-properties-common libffi-dev

Looking at the logs indicated at the error message, I noticed I was missing a C compiler on my WSL environment.
I managed to get it to work by installing the libyaml-dev libssl-dev build-essential dependencies.

[mikodagatan]

Doing this worked for me.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install build-essential rustc libssl-dev libyaml-dev zlib1g-dev libgmp-dev
