RTF(M|L): Error Installing Ruby 3.3.1 via asdf on MacOS Due to Missing libyaml
- 26 May 2024
This is the first in a rapid-fire series of howto posts regarding MacOS development environments and common blockers people face when setting them up. It should also serve as your daily reminder to Read the Freaking Manual|Logs[1]! As for Ruby, I needed to set up Ruby 3.3.1 for a new customer engagement. As usual, I started setting it up via asdf-vm; see 🪄 Install asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments for the reasoning behind doing so and my view on language runtime management.
🪄 Install asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments

Almost everyone I know who uses a computer, for fun or work, is overtaken by a slight nervousness when installing a new library, package, service or application on their operating system. The horror stories underpinning these reservations vary slightly between Linux, Unix, Windows and MacOS users, but everyone knows, regardless of preferred ecosystem, that installing software can do a number on their computer and the task should not be taken lightly. Especially for programmers, that struggle is no stranger. Therefore, any tool looking to simplify this task and eliminate potential points of failure is, in my book, a very welcome occurrence.
❌ RuntimeError: no .dist-info at ... has pip for pipenv install managed via asdf-vm1
- 22 August 2023
ℹ️ Several folks who are not using asdf-vm but are facing similar issues have asked me for advice, I’ve detailed how you can troubleshoot and fix this issue on Fix runtimeerror: no .dist-info has pip in broken pipenv installs and virtualenv wheels.
Having said that, I’ve mentioned in several occasions that pipenv is my virtual environment manager of choice in Python projects and that I use it in tandem with asdf-vm[1], which allows me to seemlesly switch between Python versions depending on the project I’m working on. However, after updating one of my Ubuntu test systems (20.04.6 LTS) and installing a couple of Python versions via asdf-vm, pipenv suddenly stopped working. In this brief HOWTO I hope to provide a couple of hints as to how you may debug and ultimately fix a PipEnv installation which finds itself in a weird state.
