Thanks God, I was able to solve the problem,,,

Turned out to be that one of the requirements is to have the "Command Line Tools" already installed on the system [using: Mac OSX 10.9] I was counting on that I already have "Xcode" installed, thats why I thought that "Command Line Tools" is bundled and installed with Xcode and it was but I just needed to configure "Xcode" properly....by doing the following:

1.start "Xcode"....

2.Go to "Preferences"

3.Select "Locations" tab

4.Command Line Tools: = select the version of "Xcode" that is already installed on the system. [Drop down menu]

5.Relaunch "Terminal"

6.Clear "Drush" cache

    drush cc drush

7.Run:

    gem install ffi -v '1.9.9'

and it was successful.

    bundle install

success also.

Please note: that I also did reinstall:

RVM:

    \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Bundler 1.10.5:

    gem install bundler

Hope this would help.

A likely culprit would be that Xcode path is wrong. Make sure there is valid Xcode then run this first.

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

This instruction helped me

$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib
$ sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.4.dylib

I had a similar issue on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

It was solved by running

sudo apt install libffi-dev
gem inst ffi
