I´m following the workshop Installing a Ruby on Rails Development Environment in OS X and when I type: rbenv install 2.2.1 I get this message: ruby-build: definition not found: 2.2.1

You have to update your homebrew. Let's do this way: brew update && brew upgrade and then rbenv install '2.2.1'
Hope that helps.

Courses Plus Student 16,120 PointsHi Jose, I had this issue earlier and solved it. However, not all BUILD FAILED errors are the same. What specific information are you getting? Maybe you can post the full error message? In the last 10 lines, ususally reported at the bottom of the error in terminal, you should see some helpful information to get started figuring out what's the problem.

Courses Plus Student 16,120 PointsSorry, Jose, that issue is completely different from the one I had (some fiddle with clang).
Hopefully this will ring a bell with someone here.
Could your system think its ruby version is cached, in the cloud?
What do you get when you type which ruby into your terminal?
What do you get when you type rbenv versions? Is the word system returned?
Finally (and I apologize if none of this leads you to a solution, I'm just guessing) what do you see if you type rbenv install --list? Can you see the version of ruby that you are trying to install?
Hope that's helpful.

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsThat seems odd, I'v never had this issue before.
Sorry I have no idea, you can google to find out more. :(
