Not sure if this is enough information to get started, but happy to provide whatever logs might be helpful. This is a brand new machine, trying to get it set up for work.

I also looked at the similar issues, but didn't see one for this LDFLAGS issue

Running on bash, here is my .bash_profile

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"

eval "$(rbenv init -)"

Try removing the LIBRARY_PATH line from your .bash_profile.

Setting env vars like LIBRARY_PATH globally in your shell startup file is one of the most common reasons for Ruby installation failures, and can cause other tools to fail as well. These kinds of env vars should only be set if you know what you're doing, and should never be set globally in your shell startup file.

Also, the fact that the LIBRARY_PATH is pointing to /usr/local either means you blindly copied and pasted this, or that you installed Homebrew using Rosetta, neither of which I recommend. On a brand new Apple Silicon Mac, Hombrew should be installed in /opt/homebrew, and if you didn't install Homebrew in /usr/local, then pointing LIBRARY_PATH to a nonexistent directory can cause tools like Ruby to fail to install.

If removing LIBRARY_PATH doesn't work, try my Ruby on Mac script. Aside from setting up a proper Ruby dev environment, it can save you hours when setting up a brand new machine with everything else you need like all your dev tools, Mac apps, fonts, macOS preferences, Git preferences, and GitHub repos that you need to clone.

Awesome, that did it. My homebrew was in /opt/homebrew

Mine uses zsh. I revised my ~/.zshrc, and removed export PATH items and it worked.

Since, I had Kafka installed, I had to comment below properties from my .zshrc file.

#export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/librdkafka/2.3.0/include
#export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/librdkafka/2.3.0/lib

After that run below commands on terminal

source .zshrc
LIBRARY_PATH=""

Finally install using below command

rvm install ruby-3.3.1 --with-openssl-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]
