MacOS: ERROR the Provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) Is LLVM Based, It Is Not Yet Fully Supported

| Comments

Error:

1

The provided compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read rvm requirements.

I got this error when installing ruby (1.9.2) on my fresh install Mountain Lion.  Looking at some references online, this looks like an issue with the compiler used in mac os (lion and mountain lion), as they switched to (LLVM) Clang compilers.

Work-around I found for my ruby installation is to specify the compiler to use during the installation (clang), change the default GCC to Clang.

Example:

1

rvm install ruby-1.9.2 --with-gcc=clang

Also, make sure you have the following installed and up to date for ruby install:

  • xcode with “Command Line Tools” components

  • rvm

Note:  This could also be the case with other packages compiled/installed from source.
