0.4.11 build fails on Mac OS 10.15.6

[npearson72]

I have a project that includes this version. Any way to get beyond the build error without upgrading the gem?

I ran CC=gcc-4.2 CFLAGS="" gem install rbtrace -v '0.4.11' and got this output:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rbtrace:

Thanks

I'm getting the same error while doing bundle install

[npearson72]

@Angelmas I ended up downgrading my Apple command line tools version and the problem went away.

Hey thank you, What version are you using right now?

[npearson72]

I want to say it was 11.4 or 11.5. I'm not sure as this was on a different machine that I no longer have access to.

[KingsleyBawuah]

I had this problem as well and xCode version 11.4 worked!

[Kloenk]

To me it looks like updating config.guess and config.sub in msgpack should fix the issue.

[Kloenk]

Oh, no. The error I have looks identical on the first look. but Is actually a different one
