How to get Ruby / Homebrew / RVM to work on Yosemite?
After installing Yosemite, I was unable to run brew or ruby.
I was getting this error on brew update:
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
getting this error on irb:

This error can easily be fixed in the following steps:
1) Open terminal
2) Type nano /usr/local/Library/brew.rb
3) In the first line change “1.8″ to “Current”, so it should look like this:
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby -W0

I updated to Yosemite and later found out brew was broken.
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
If you haven't made any changes to brew yet, here is what I recommend. Otherwise read further below.
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/sudo ln -s Current 1.8-
brew update sudo unlink 1.8
Already made changes to brew files and stuck in a git mess?
I tried to edit /usr/local/Library/brew.rb but the local change to my git repo was preventing brew update from pulling down updates. I tried some other solutions mentioned on this page and from other sites and I ended up with a git mess and all I wanted to do was undo everything I had done to brew.
I committed my change but it made things worse. Eventually I had to undo my commits and git reset --hard HEAD~1 until I was at the right commit-ish. I had a mess of unversioned files too (I changed files permissions in /usr/Local) so I did a git clean -f -d which removed all unversioned files and directories and got me back to where I started before I made any changes.
Steps to fix it:
Install command line tools for Xcode 6
-
Reinstall brew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" -
Once brew is installed, rvm will work:
rvm install ruby
Worked for me, yahoo!
Editing the script means brew update won't work; there are local edits to tracked files which causes the git pull to fail.
I did this, which I suspect is cleaner:
cd /usr/local/Library
git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
There are no complaints from brew doctor.
