I think my problem may be similar to Smace below

smace commented on Nov 20, 2014
I have found what was the problem, I'm using a SSD and a HDD in my MBP, / is mounted on my SSD and /user/home on my HDD, rbenv default directory is /user/home/.rbenv moving it to /usr/local/var/rbenv allowed to build ruby!

can you provide specific command line fix here as maybe this will help others in future

[mislav]

Thanks for reporting. I'm guessing this is because of a space in /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ path that the installer is supposed to work with. See #385 and rbenv/rbenv#558

[mislav]

1. Is your rbenv root at default location? The default location is ~/.rbenv
2. Can you tell us how your drives are mounted? df

[bradbergeron-us]

~
❯ cd ~/.rbenv

~/.rbenv
❯ ls
shims versions

~/.rbenv
❯ cd ..

Tried changing names of hard drives and now can not even log in to my user profile

###F********

My data was structures so that I would launch into the SSD drive and had OSX installed on both al my application data was transferred onto SSD although I think technically my home folder was located on the HDD "MIcrosoft HD" and for some reason I've had Rbenv working correctly before maybe 2 months ago.

Not sure what to do now, but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

[bradbergeron-us]

Update : logged in under guest and corrected path to my designated "login folder" with the new HDD name without spaces.

##Root path to my login account is:

/Volumes/OSX_HD/users/#{login_name}

[mislav]

I don't suggest you make any system changes. Instead, install rubies in a location that is not in your home folder, to avoid installing to "Macintosh HD". E.g.:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/rubies
sudo chown "${USER}:staff" /opt/rubies
rm -rf ~/.rbenv/versions
ln -s /opt/rubies ~/.rbenv/versions

Now install Ruby version to /opt/rubies and they will be available as rbenv versions:

$ ruby-build 2.1.5 /opt/rubies/2.1.5
# (`rbenv install 2.1.5` might work as well; not sure)

$ rbenv global 2.1.5

[bradbergeron-us]

Saved -- Thank You!

[mislav]

Sorry you had trouble with my syntax (valid bash) in zsh. Maybe this would be better (in the future):

chown "${USER}:staff" /opt/rubies

[SerzhSergeev]

Thank you!
That's working for me too! 😜
Ruby-build 2.2.2, 10.10.3 OSX.

Installed ruby-2.2.2 to /opt/rubies/2.2.2

I've added this caveat to our wiki so now I feel I can close this. Thanks everyone for participation.

[bradbergeron-us]

Yes that problem was awful, similar issue that should be added to Wiki is when the file .rbenv.shim gets in the way of the executable path. It has been an issue prior. But I think that should be added into the documenation as well. **Although more related to rbenv* but these tools are all trying to aid in the same problem.
