    text
    copied!<p>Using OSX 10.8.4 on Macbook Pro with homebrew, xcode (with command line tools) and libffi.</p> <p>I have installed rvm and ruby-1.9.3-p448 and have a gemset called omega.ecoop. There is a gemfile which lists gems that are required for this project. However, I can't get them installed, after running bundle check:</p> <pre><code>Bundler can't satisfy your Gemfile's dependencies. </code></pre> <p>This is correct as they are not installed. So I use:</p> <pre><code>bundle install </code></pre> <p>which produces the following:</p> <pre><code>Sams-MacBook-Pro:ecoop Sam$ bundle install Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..........

I tried:</p> <pre><code>sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 </code></pre> <p>I have read:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17775115/cant-setup-ruby-environment-installing-fii-gem-error">can&#39;t setup ruby environment - installing fii gem error</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10575679/bundle-update-fails-on-ffi/10610951#10610951">Bundle update fails on ffi</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10575679/bundle-update-fails-on-ffi/10610951#10610951">Bundle update fails on ffi</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18283291/error-installing-ffi">Error installing ffi</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11919465/gem-install-ffi-v-1-1-5-osx-10-8">gem install ffi -v &#39;1.1.5&#39; osx 10.8</a></p> <p>Still no luck though. I followed this guide to set up RVM:</p> <p><a href="http://portertech.ca/2010/03/26/homebrew--rvm--awesome/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://portertech.ca/2010/03/26/homebrew--rvm--awesome/</a></p> <p>If this helps, ffi-1.0.11 installs without hitch, fff-1.9.0 will not install (<a href="http://rubygems.org/gems/ffi/versions" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://rubygems.org/gems/ffi/versions</a>).</p> <pre><code>/Users/Sam/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448@omega.ecoop/gems/ffi-1.0.11 (no problem) </code></pre> <p>I wanted to use command line only (rather than jewelrybox GUI) to learn some new skills along the way but fairly stuck here. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>So I tried a different approach, I thought maybe it was the version of ruby that was not compatible:</p> <pre><code>rvm install 2.0.0 </code></pre> <p>then create gemset this time using ruby 2.0.0</p> <pre><code>rvm use 2.0.0@omega.ecoop --create </code></pre> <p>Check it's there and selected as the current gemset (ready to install some gems)</p> <pre><code>rvm gemset list gemsets for ruby-2.0.0-p247 (found in /Users/Sam/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247) (default) global =&gt; omega.ecoop </code></pre> <p>Yep all good. Try and install</p> <pre><code>bundle install Sams-MacBook-Pro:ecoop Sam$ bundle install Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/.......... Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..

Then I removed ruby 1.9.3 as I only use it for compass/sass/susy at the moment and if 2.0.0 works, so be it.</p> <pre><code>Sams-MacBook-Pro:~ Sam$ ruby -v ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0] Sams-MacBook-Pro:~ Sam$ cd drupal/ecoop/sites/default/themes/ecoop/ ruby-1.9.3-p448 is not installed.

Press Ctrl-C to Stop. </code></pre> <p>Works fine for my project now. Not sure of any consequences of using a newer version of ruby but lost enough time already, need to do some designing. Obviously this wont help someone who needs 1.9.3 so that original query of why ffi wouldn't install is yet to be addressed.</p>
