Rake db:create causes segmentation fault on Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am setting up a rails application on Ubuntu 18.04. My ruby version is 2.1.4. Postgres version is (PostgreSQL) 10.10.

I installed gems using rails Gemfile.

Following is the snippet of error that I got while executing rake db:create.

/home/nishant/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.4/gems/puma-2.9.2/lib/puma/puma_http11.so: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x00000000000000
ruby 2.1.4p265 (2014-10-27 revision 48166) [x86_64-linux]

-- Control frame information -----------------------------------------------
c:0036 p:-11855247756540 s:0130 e:000129 TOP    [FINISH]
c:0035 p:---- s:0128 e:000127 CFUNC  :require

This error occurs for any rake command.

Can anyone provide a solution/fix for this?

Answer 1

As pointed by Casper in comment to the question, the problem got solved by installing a newer version of puma server. I installed puma version 3.8.2. With that puma -v gives proper output. also rake db:create works.
