Error with eventmachine

1

Hi!

I used to be able to run jekyll on my MacOS. However, recently, I cannot do it anymore. Running bundle exec jekyll serve returns

bundler: command not found: jekyll
Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`

When I ran bundle install, I got errors about eventmachine as follows:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

this usually is cause ruby doesn’t have the dev tools installed. Did you make any changes to ruby since it last worked?

are you using a ruby version manager? rvm? you might have it set to the wrong version of ruby? if you run rvm list does it give you a list of rubys or an error?

I’m not a mac user so not too sure what is happening. But the first line is also saying the lockfile was generated with an older version of bundler which could also mean the last time you ran it it used an older version of ruby but that is a bit of a guess.

I’d try to simply delete the lock file; that has helped me in similar situations. It will be regenerated.

Hi, thanks for your response.

I made some changes that I don’t remember and are not recorded by git. The first time it was broken was a few weeks ago, which I did not resolve immediately.

I am not using rvm or so. I remember installing Jekyll using homebrew. I tried deleting the lock file and run bundle install again, but I got the same error at eventmachine.

I tried deleting the lock file then bundle install, but I got the same error.

my guess is something changed with ruby somehow and you don’t have the build tools needed to build some gems. On windows there are usually 2 ways to install ruby, one with the build tools and one without. If you do the one without you get that type of error.

Google the main error : Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

and your os to see options.

On macs sometimes people end up with ruby installed multiple times - like a system ruby and then a user ruby though you can usually see that in the logs and yours look ok to me but I could be wrong.

Maybe the ruby manager is called rbenv? do you use that?

I’m having the same problem.

The only thing that’s changed was I upgraded from MacOS 14.xx to 15.1 (Sonoma). I’m guessing there’s some change in MacOS - but it’s beyond my skill to figure this out.

Hopefully someone can post a solution – otherwise I can’t update my website. Ack.

Thanks,

david,

i think it might have something to do with xcode, but as a windows user i don’t know what that is. Google mac os ruby xcode and you should come up with a lot of posts.
