Dynamic Library Binding Error on Mac OSX with Rails

By Matan | Published: October 9, 2009

While creating a rails application skeleton I ran into the following dyld complaint:

~$ rails exp
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _rb_intern2
Referenced from: /Users/matan/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/gems/hpricot-0.8.1/lib/fast_xs.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _rb_intern2
Referenced from: /Users/matan/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/gems/hpricot-0.8.1/lib/fast_xs.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

If the above looks familiar to you try to unset GEM_HOME and see if it resolves your issue:

~$ unset GEM_HOME

Alternatively add $HOME/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/bin (or wherever you installed Ruby) to your PATH.
