Terminal.app doesn't save history in El Capitan and you are using RVM

The cause is described here https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/3540#issue-113491283
The fix is here https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/3540#issuecomment-152824133

I copied the fix here just in case it's removed in the future

Another option is to create .bash_logout with a single line:

shell_session_update

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I ran to this issue couples of week ago

Installing oj (2.0.2) with native extensions

I could find the way to fix it. It was quite frustrated at that moment because the only way to get passed this error to start our web server again is to downgrade oj gem.

But eventually, I found the way to fix it. As I understand, this error causes by bug in llvm (Apple's gcc that comes with XCode). Here is the steps of how I fixed the issue.

First you need to install gcc4.2 with brew

brew update

brew tap homebrew/dupes

brew install apple-gcc42

Then reinstall your Ruby with this command (I use RVM)

CC=/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3-pXXX

After this you should be able to install oj or the other gems as usual.

I composed solution from many links but sorry I forgot to take note of those.

Upgrade Ruby version which is installed with RVM

• Get latest Ruby version for RVM
• rvm get latest
• Find out current Ruby version
• rvm current (the string between first '-' and '@')
• Find out new Ruby version
• rvm list known
• Upgrade
• rvm upgrade [current version] [new version]
