Setting up env, OSX rbenv and bundle battle


So i have just swapped over to mac from ubuntu and setting up the env has not been as easy as promised.

this is the process i followed.

  1. installed xcode - then went into the prefrences and downloaded the command line tools
  2. then verified that the right version was installed, by running gcc --version

    i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
    Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

    warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
    
  3. then installed homebrew $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
  4. ran brew doctor and this is what i get

    Your system is ready to brew.

5.installed git brew update + brew install git

6.linked my pc to my git account via ssh

7.installed Rbenv

$ brew update
$ brew install rbenv
$ brew install ruby-build

added eval "$(rbenv init -)" to my .bash_profile file

  1. ran rbenv install -list to see all the versions i could install and then ran

    $ rbenv install 1.9.3-p327
    $ rbenv global 1.9.3-p327
    
  2. (i should have rehashed rbenv but i forgot) i then ran gem install bundler

  3. then went into one of my repo's and ran bundle install which blew up with errors

    Gem::InstallError: better_errors requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2.
    An error occurred while installing better_errors (0.7.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
    Make sure that `gem install better_errors -v '0.7.0'` succeeds before bundling.
    

ran ruby -v and saw that it was on 1.8.7 "balls" - i exclaimed

  1. to remedy this i did the following rbenv rehash

  2. ruby -v and got ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0] then high fived myself

  3. then tried to run bundle and the same error comes up ??

    $ which bundle
    /usr/bin/bundle
    
    $ which gem
    /Users/fortknokx/.rbenv/shims/gem
    

so this is now where i stand confused as heck. as i said this is my third day using mac and i am pretty new to understanding the $PATH i am sure that i made a foul up somewhere. any advice i am open to.

ps this is what i have in my .bash_profile

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/sublime:~/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

Solution

  • The problem seems to be that you're using a system ruby installed bundler, and not one installed with your rbenv ruby.

    Run ruby --version to make sure your rbenv ruby is active, then run gem install bundler followed by rbenv rehash and then try reinstalling your gems and see if that works.
