Fix vm_core.h Error Ruby_current_ec Undeclared When Install Ruby 3.1.3 or 3.0.5

• Permalink

Please notice below method is outdated and ruby core team confirm it’s a bug

Today ruby core team release the 3.1.3 and 3.0.5 patch version, but when I install it on CentOS 7, I got the below errors:

make: *** [miniinit.o] Error 1

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

In file included from vm_core.h:83:0,

                 from iseq.h:14,

After do some research, I found it works in AWS linux (gcc (GCC) 7.3.1 20180712 (Red Hat 7.3.1-15)) and Ubuntu (gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0) smoothly, but CentOS 7 will always failed. (gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44))

So I guess probably it’s relative with the old stock gcc version of CentOS 7, luckily new gcc can be installed in CentOS 7 easily.

yum list | grep gcc

yum install centos-release-scl-rh

yum install llvm-toolset-7-clang

yum install centos-release-scl

yum install devtoolset-7-gcc.x86_64 && yum install devtoolset-7-gcc-c++.x86_64

# or yum install devtoolset-7-toolchain

scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

rbenv install 3.1.3 # now can successully install ruby!

Hoping this article can save you at least half day time and having a nice day!
