Hi, I''m brand new to rails, and I have a mac 10.7 that I bought
today. I try the following:
joelrwesley$ sudo gem install rails
Password:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rails:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

joelrwesley$
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks, Joel

Thanks Fred. I downloaded the latest Xcode last night, turned the computer off for the night, and tried it again this morning. No go; same message. I''m also supposed to be able to write gcc -v to test the compiler from Xcode, but I''m getting an error on that also. I tried going into Xcode and starting a project, and it seems to be working. Xcode is now being distributed at the App store, instead of off of the disk. I wonder if that has something to do with it? I''m thinking of maybe trying to put it on my hard drive from the disk for the old Leopard from my old machine. As for Apple''s gve command line tools, package, I don''t know what that is.

Anyway this is your issue …. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/761521/when-i-try-sudo-gem-install-json-i-get-the-following-error But today the only way to escape that insane stuff -- to use rvm. It''s pretty simple: 1) Install latest Xcode 2) Install rvm: http://beginrescueend.com/ 3) Install rubies you want to. 4) Update gem --system 5) Install Rails version you want. Just easy and safe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thank you for the advice, Valery. I tried that, and (I believe) followed the instructions at the rvm page. I say I *believe*, because these instructions always seem to lead to a number of things that one might reasonably try, though there''s no clear notion of what one really should be doing.... argh. anyway, I got to the last instruction, which is to type rvm install 1.9.3, and I got the following: joelrwesley$ rvm install 1.9.3 Fetching yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /Users/joelrwesley/.rvm/archives Extracting yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /Users/joelrwesley/.rvm/src Configuring yaml in /Users/joelrwesley/.rvm/src/yaml-0.1.4.
