I'm trying to install Jekyll on Leopard but can't get it working. The most progress I've made is being able to run gem install jekyll in Terminal, but then I get the error make failed, exit code 2.
I can't install ruby from rbenv or rvm due to cert/ssl errors, that's why I've installed it from source. I can install via brew install ruby, but get the same results.
I've looked at many other posts regarding the make failed error which tends to be related to multiple Ruby versions. None of the answers on these pages worked as I've installed everything from source (ruby has never been installed by brew, rbenv or rvm).
I have tried installing ruby with all of the above but got the same error.
Each time I've tested installing Ruby either from source or from tigerbrew/homebrew I've clean installed a new system of Leopard + Xcode etc. I've also tried this on multiple machines.
I've just updated rubygems to version 3.0.2, which fixed some certificate errors when installing gems but hasn't fixed the problem.
Is there anything else I can do to get this working??
Below is the output from Terminal when I run gem install jekyll.

So I figured out that the Make error is due to some dependencies being incompatible with the system.
I managed to get Jekyll 3.8.5 installed on OSX 10.5.6 (Leopard) by running these commands:
sudo gem install ffi -v 1.7.0
sudo gem install eventmachine -v 1.0.9.1
sudo gem install jekyll -v 3.8.5
Now to try 10.4.8..
