Installation fails on OSX Mountain Lion about gitsh HOT 8 CLOSED

Interesting, thanks. The homebrew formula is meant to work around this by adding a dependency on homebrew Ruby if the system Ruby is too old. I'll look into it.

I'm seeing this same issue. Wonder if there's a way to hook into rbenv for ruby versioning somehow.

@gylaz It would be better not to depend on rbenv directly since that would break for rvm and chruby users.

@JoelQ @gylaz Did homebrew try to install a Ruby version, which the gitsh installer failed to pick up, or did the homebrew dependency fail?

It looks like it thought the system ruby was ok.

==> ./configure --disable-silent-rules
checking for ruby... (cached) /usr/bin/ruby
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/local/Library/ENV/4.3/sed
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep
checking for ruby version... 1.8.7

I have a potential fix for this: 779d9a210c6a1fc2a4d3312df8b09e7589fda613. Could someone on Mountain Lion give this a go?

Here's what you'd need to do:

1. Download the updated formula
2. Run brew install ~/path/to/formula/gitsh.rb
3. Profit!

Awesome, thanks for the debugging help. I'm moving this to a PR: #62
