@jdx this happened to me on two different machines, I remember like a month ago, but did mise self-update and it started to work again, now I tried to install Ruby on new machine and it failed with latest current version.

[svipas]

@jdx Was able to fix it by first running brew install libyaml, but my question is maybe somehow it is possible to skip this part so that mise handles it? But anyways, if thats the requirement please feel free to close my ticket.

[roele]

mise uses ruby-build under the hood and since dependencies might change or even differ between installed ruby versions, mise should not handle those. What we should do is add a hint in the documentation which refers to https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-environment.

Thanks @roele
