Unable to install commonmarker on OS X

[pschloss]

I'm running into a snag trying to update the github-pages gem where it fails on updating commonmarker. I'm using Ruby 2.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.13.5/High Sierra.

$ gem install commonmarker -v '0.17.9'
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing commonmarker:

There is no /opt/local/bin/ directory on my computer and gmkdir is in /usr/local/bin/gmkdir, which is where it was installed when I used brew reinstall coreutils to install it. Suggestions?

[gjtorikian]

I am not sure at all what's going on here. I also don't have /opt/local/bin/; I assume your gmkdir is also just a symlink to ../Cellar/coreutils/8.29/bin/gmkdir?

Can I see the Makefile that was generated? I believe it should be under /Users/pschloss/.rbenv/versions/2.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/commonmarker-0.17.9/x86_64-darwin16/commonmarker/2.3.3/Makefile.

Curiously it appears that mine uses /usr/bin/install but I wonder why yours is calling gmkdir. I could be totally wrong though, just trying to take guesses.

[gjtorikian]

Alternatively, you could try cloning this repo and running bundle install; bundle exec rake compile and see if that works.

Sorry, I figured it out - there was a vestigial macports installation causing problems. Once I reinstalled rbenv everything worked.

I'm still getting this error when trying to install commonmarker with my systems's ruby (mac os big sur): rbenv/rbenv#1354.
