I recently upgraded my Mac to High Sierra
After the upgrade, Macvim (mvim) stopped working because (I assume) HighSierra upgraded ruby to 2.3, and mvim is using ruby 2.0.
Following is the error I am getting
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/libruby.2.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-134/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/../MacOS/Vim
Do I need to compile vim again or is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
This worked for me. YMMV
brew uninstall --purge macvim
brew install macvim
[amended] Regarding the upgrade alone option, that may work if you don't have the current version already. The --purge forces a removal and complete reinstall.
Also, the build from source option, while it may work, you now own your own mac-vim static snapshot and need to maintain it manually as the app evolves.
I'd avoid building from source unless you have very specific needs.
This worked for me:
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade macvim
actual command output:
[bin]$ brew upgrade macvim

Tried to use brew upgrade macvim an error was raised and the failed. What worked for me is to open the MacVim in a normal window (not a iTerm or terminal) the graphic version noticed that a newer version is available and asked if I want to update. Clicked yes, please and done. macvim in terminal or iTerm works just fine (as well as the "window" version).
