Failure - ffi / bel.rb does not compile on MacOSX ruby

by abargnesi 9 years ago

macOS ◆ xterm-256color ◆ bash 955 views

The ffi gem does not build on an old MacOSX ruby. You will have to install a new ruby version. I used Homebrew with the following:

brew install ruby21

Then the issue arose where the bel.rb gem was looking to load libbel.so instead of the Mac OSX libbel.bundle.
