Proposal: output system install command for openssl?
Recently, I upgraded my system, Fedora.
When trying to call ruby-install ruby 2.6.5, I got openssl issues, which seems to be a common issue here:
>>> Installing dependencies for ruby 2.6.5 ...
Error:
Problem: problem with installed package compat-openssl10-devel-1:1.0.2o-8.fc31.x86_64
Even though it tells me the error and the problem (openssl), I had no idea what command it's trying to run with dnf.
I fixed the issue calling this:
sudo dnf install openssl-devel --allowerasing
Since it's such a common issue and so dependent on the system, it'd be best to output what command is trying to be run so that users can easily fix it themselves in their system, like this:
>>> Installing dependencies for ruby 2.6.5 ...
If you have issues, please try this command in your system:
Running: sudo dnf install openssl-devel
Error:
Problem: problem with installed package compat-openssl10-devel-1:1.0.2o-8.fc31.x86_64
With that Running line in a green color or something, then this will prompt users to try that themselves and fix the issue themselves on their specific system.
As of now, you have to kind of guess what is being called, and it makes people create issues here, when it isn't even ruby-install's fault.
We could add debugging messages and a --debug option. We'd also need to identify the critical commands that need to be logged.
The 0.9.0 branch now has a -D,--debug option that will output all package manager commands and ./configure commands. fb4779c81a9d0c8eb483e0ad7ca9fdab5f4f2d90
