Question

I’m on Lion, I’ve installed xcode 4.1, and rvm version is 1.6.31 head

Here’s what I did:

$ rvm install 1.9.2-p290 --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1

The iconv dir points to the Brew install.

Here is the output

Here is the make.log

The error at the bottom of the make.log looks like it’s trying to use the native libiconv instead of the one I specified:

ld: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64) for architecture x86_64

Any ideas?

When upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6 I had to nuke out all my installed source-built libraries and start over to fully resolve the 32-bit to 64-bit conversion issues. You may find you need to force-rebuild all of your brew packages.

Under MacPorts you just remove the /opt directory, salvaging any database files that might be in there first, and re-install everything again. I’m sure there’s a similar procedure for Brew.

There’s a way to alter the library load path, too, to set priority, but MacPorts does seem to handle this for you. otool can help diagnose which libraries are being loaded:

otool -L `which ruby`
