Subject: [ruby-core:55791] [Backport 200 - Backport #8589] Compiling Ruby 2.0.0-p247 crashes my iMac


Issue #8589 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


If it happens only one machine, it may be caused by hardware failure, e.g., HDD error.
Otherwise it occurs on other machines, it must be a bug of the OS.

Backport #8589: Compiling Ruby 2.0.0-p247 crashes my iMac
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8589#change-40287

Author: jonwerbell (Jonathan Werbell)
Status: Third Party's Issue
Priority: Normal

Category: 
Target version: 


When I attempt to compile Ruby 2.0.0-p247 using RVM, my iMac either crashes and displays the white screen of death or will just reboot and go back to the login prompt.  

I put in a ticket with RVM, but after review it seems that the issue is with Ruby.  It seems to crash each time Ruby is "checking if fork works with pthread"  Here are some log files that might be helpful.  

rvm --debug install 2.0.0 2>&1 - https://gist.github.com/jonwerbell/5893780
config.log - https://gist.github.com/jonwerbell/5894795
configure.log - https://gist.github.com/jonwerbell/5894785

Thank you.
