I had no gmkdir in /opt/local/bin... no gmkdir at all. Previously, I had been using Macports, so I guess that ruby gems had cached the location to gmkdir.
Rather than blowing away my whole rvm installation and starting over, I installed the coreutils module with brew:
brew install coreutils
That includes gmkdir, but not in the right spot. So, I created a symbolic link to it:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gmkdir /opt/local/bin/gmkdir
Let me know if this problem was plaguing you and this helped.
Worked for me, thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteThank you for saving me a ton of time! Worked great!
ReplyDeletesymlink not necessary...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the writeup. I had this same problem and running `brew install coreutils` helped me.
However, I don't have a /opt/local/ because I got rid of macports. And I found that, since I was using brew, it was looking for "gmkdir" because it looks for all those typical commands except with a "g" infront (that's what it tells you after you run `brew install coreutils`. After I ran that and made sure it was in my .zshrc (.bashrc, etc.) and ran my command again that started this all, it ran fine (probably because it found gmkdir in my path.
Thanks,
R
I also just ran into this problem, and I needed the symlink for both gmkdir and ginstall, but now it seems to be working
ReplyDeleteThanks!
You might also want to link install to ginstall (same directories, I suppose). In my install, the commands were:
ReplyDeletesudo ln -s /bin/mkdir /opt/local/bin/gmkdir
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/install /opt/local/bin/ginstall
Needed both to get the debugger gem to compile.
Thank you, this helped me 4 years after you posted this (didn't even have to symlink). I have upgraded to Ruby 2.2.5 and bundle failed to install json 1.8.3.
ReplyDeleteNice. Works fine!
ReplyDeleteThis fixed my failing installation for Nokogiri 1.5.11 for Ruby 2.1.9 on my OSX 10.11.5. Thanks! Didn't follow the symlink instructions but it works.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
