Install SciRuby failed on OS X

Question

I have gcc6.1 installed on OS X via brew, when I tried to install sciruby-full on my Mac, always got this Error:

>Fetching: nmatrix-0.1.0.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing sciruby-full:

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/nmatrix-0.1.0 for inspection.

My ruby and OS X is always the newest: Ruby 2.2.2 on updated Yosemite.

Answer 1

From your error message:

extconf.rb:144:in `': You need a version of g++ which supports -std=c++0x or -std=c++11. If you're on a Mac and using Homebrew, we recommend using mac-brew-gcc.sh to install a more recent g++. (RuntimeError)

Answer 2

Do the following (using homebrew)

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install gcc48

if this does not work, try gcc47 or gcc46.

Note: It make take a while to build. gcc is quite large.
