Spent 3 hours trying to get current Ruby version (2.7) running on CentOS 7 (which distributes 2.0); gave up after compilation dependencies hell. Then spent an hour and half trying to do the same on MacOS (distributes 2.3); failed similarly. Is Ruby de facto abandonware now?

Thanks… that was what wasn’t working for me. Eventually got a gcc internal error, at which point I gave up.

After reading this tweet, I tried setting up a Centos 7 VM on macOS, installing rbenv, the dependencies required by ruby-build and then install ruby 2.7.0 I followed https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-ruby-on-centos-7/ … . PS: I didn't install the libyaml-devel package Everything went well for me.

Thanks! I should have kept detailed notes and filed a proper bug report instead of griping on twitter :(
