Welcome Again

After a little over 10 years, my trustful MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) has recently died. And as it was time to upgrade, I went for the MacBook Air (M1, 2020).

And as I was getting myself ready to start blogging again, and testing my blog locally, I ran into an issue when I ran bundle install on my blog’s root directory.

I installed rbenv with brew, Ruby version 2.7.4, and then this happened:

$ bundle install
# Cut for brevity
An error occurred while installing eventmachine (1.2.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  github-pages was resolved to 227, which depends on
    jekyll-avatar was resolved to 0.7.0, which depends on
      jekyll was resolved to 3.9.2, which depends on
        em-websocket was resolved to 0.5.3, which depends on
          eventmachine

So, as suggested I tried the gem install command:

$ gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/cesarcoatl/.rbenv/versions/2.7.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/eventmachine-1.2.7 for inspection.

Before my old MacBook Air died, I did manage to install Ubuntu 22.10 and didn’t run into any issues running my blog. But since this was my first time trying M1, and having read not found for architecture arm64, it did look like an issue with M1’s ARM architecture.

But without feeling defeated I went to eventmachine’s page at RubyGems, and found its GitHub repo, and after a quick search I found the following this issue comment.

$ gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' -- --with-ldflags='-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup'

And only then I was able to run bundle install with no errors.
