🤔 Re: Windows 10: Jekyll Installation: "Could note find gem 'jekyll (~> 4.1.1) x64-ming32'

[palehands23]

Installation

Jekyll version 4.1.1
ruby 2.7.2p137 (2020-10-01 revision 5445e04352) [x64-mingw32]
gem 3.1.4
Bundler version 2.1.4
Windows 10 version 1903
rubyinstaller-devkit-2.7.2-1-x64.exe

I’ve been attempting to fix this problem with reinstalling ruby (removing PATH to Ruby installation in Windows and any other directories in the C: drive involved with gem and ruby) where whenever I start a new jekyll blog, everything works fine until I type bundle exec jekyll serve I get the following

Could not find gem 'jekyll (~> 4.1.1) x64-mingw32' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. Run bundle install to install missing gems.

of which case I do type the command bundle install with the following message:

‘‘Bundle Install’ results in…’

And whenever I type jekyll serve I get the following

Run bundle install to install missing gems.

A clue

One thing that I have a clue is that when I type jekyll build I get the following:

Mind you I have done the following: reinstalled ruby, bundle and jekyll, made sure to do complete uninstalls and clean reinstalls of ruby and made sure that I have all of ruby uninstalled from the system.

[ashmaroli]

After installing Ruby on Windows, did you run ridk install ?
If no, please run and follow onscreen instructions.
If yes, you may additionally need to run ridk enable prior to running bundle install…

As long as you keep seeing the following message, you won’t be able to use Jekyll properly:

Installing http_parser.rb 0.6.0 with native extensions
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

[palehands23]

Yes I believe so as I made sure there was a checkbox that asked about whether I wanted to run ridk install or not followed by a command line prompt of which, curiously, there is only by default now, options 1 and 3 to be the automatic actions once you just hit the Enter key.

This is the part where, honestly, I am lost

[rdyar]

Did you just press enter there? I think that is what I did and it worked fine.

Pretty sure your problem is that the ruby devkit is not working/installed. I think that is what the ridk thing does now, used to be a different installer. The devkit is what allows the gem native extensions to be built. Looks like the devkit is now MSYS2, this post on SO has some info on how to tell if that is installed:

How to check version of Ruby dev kit installed in my Windows?

[palehands23]

No I didn’t I entered 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

…that is what the ridk thing does now, used to be a different installer.

What particular and what is it about the installer that makes a difference? Because, indeed, there is a difference here compared to older versions of RubyInstaller for Windows for sure in this part.

As for finding if MSYS2 is installed or not, it is

[ashmaroli]

Now try running gem install http_parser.rb in a new terminal window.
If that succeeds, your Ruby installation is fine.
If it doesn’t, try running ridk enable in the terminal window and run gem install http_parser.rb

If that fails as well…, uninstall everything from RubyInstaller and reinstall Ruby, this time just pressing the Enter key.

[palehands23]

Ready to go, let’s party!

Followed your instructions and got prompted with the following:

gem install http_parser.rb

Back to Basics and unhappy surprise .

Then I remembered something from Installation | Jekyll • Simple, blog-aware, static sites

Requirements:

• Ruby version 2.5.0 or higher, including all development headers (check your Ruby version using ruby -v )
• RubyGems (check your Gems version using gem -v )>
• GCC and Make (check versions using gcc -v , g++ -v , and make -v )

So then went ahead and checked if I had gcc, g++, and make installed.

And I got a very surprising prompts:

PS G:\vboxshare\Jekyll Investing\testblog> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

PS G:\vboxshare\Jekyll Investing\testblog> g++ -v
g++ : The term 'g++' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

So g++ and make are missing , which has made me wonder if there are others with Windows 10 installations having this problem or not. And if there are if it’s a problem with uniform constancy or if it’s just for some Windows 10 instances.

Because I’m beginning to wonder, for testing purposes, to try an older version of RubyInstaller (I’m thinking versions 2.4.10-1 (x64), 2.5.8-2(x64), 2.6.6-2(x64) )

I’ll update after doing these tests. So far so good people thank you for responding!

[rdyar]

I’m guessing you have more than one ruby installed - initially it looked like it was on E:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/2.7.0 now it looks like it is in the directory you are in?

G:/vboxshare/Jekyll Investing/testblog/jekyll-theme-yat/ruby/2.7.0/gems/http_parser.rb-0.6.0/ext/ruby_http_parser

if you look in both those locations is ruby there? many times it seems people end up with ruby twice and it looks for some stuff in one bin and other stuff in the other and never finds all of it.

[palehands23]

Any installation of Ruby in Windows 10 via RubyInstaller is system-wide. That is Windows 10’s system’s PATH registers the installation and can therefore work regardless of what mounted device you invoke ruby in.

As for that directory, .../jekyll-theme-yat/ruby/2.7.0/gems/http_parser.rb-0.6.0/ext/ruby_http_parser

That’s for this theme that I was trying out earlier before I encountered this problem.

jekyll-theme-yat | RubyGems.org | your community gem host

Considering that the basic directory structure of your typical, fresh installation of Jekyll doesn’t include this directory branch (https://jekyllrb.com/docs/structure/)

But good pointing out that because it’s going to be a lead to take into account because I don’t recall having installed that theme in post-recent fresh RubyInstaller instance.

As stated in my earlier post, I’ll be doing some testing and digging around. I may check out RubyInstaller’s Github or forums to see what’s happening there and whatever I find I’ll post on here.

Stay tuned!

[palehands23]

Update!

A curious thing after testing. I remembered that I had installed Ubuntu for Windows 10 and then I started to see if I had Ruby installed or not.

I saw that I had Ruby installed and then I went ahead and uninstalled completely from the Ubuntu installation.

After which, I tested Ruby installer versions (as per previous post), and then had the same problems.

But, I reinstalled ruby in Ubuntu and then did as per the instructions on the Quick Start and it now works!

Yes that’s good but…

The thing is that now I’m wondering if, after the first time I had installed Ruby and Jekyll n’ gems via Ubuntu for Windows 10, and even after having uninstalled it, had the files stayed and messed with the PATHing for RubyInstaller?

I don’t know if anyone out here can test that out because I believe there may be some relationship with what gets priority for the PATH when it comes to Ruby installations via Ubuntu for Windows 10 versus RubyInstaller.

This means that if you install Ruby, Jekyll n’ Gems on Ubuntu, you can’t install Jekyll n’ Gems via RubyInstaller.

But anyway I leave that here as food for thought in case anyone finds themselves in a pickle

To recap

So, if a) have installed Ubuntu or any Linux distro on Windows 10 and have already installed Ruby and Jekyll on it, keep in mind that it may cause b) your RubyInstaller based method of installing Ruby, Jekyll n’ Gems installation from working at all as expected.

NOTE I still have to figure out how things are installed on the Windows 10 host directories in the C:\ drive as what the whole Bash On Windows thing is just something akin to virtual machines running Linux distros, except there is some sharing of PATH resources and system access from the guest OS installation (*nix distro) to the host OS installation (Win 10)
