Gitlab installation - Ruby rail error - ruby

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 and was updating my Gitlab from 6.8 to 7 and everything went wrong. Now I have removed it and is trying to install a new version but ran into a problem with Ruby.
When I try install it
$ sudo apt install gitlab
I get an error after some time:
Could not find gem 'rails (>= 4.2.7.1, ~> 4.2.7)' in any of the gem sources
listed in your Gemfile.
I have tried to run
$ sudo gem install rails
but this gives me another error:
ERROR: Error installing rails:
activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.
I don't know what to do now...
I have started all over... Removed gitlab* and postgresql. Rebooted and installed gitlab again. Now I got another error:
Could not find gem 'pg (~> 0.18.2)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
Tried to install pg manually:
$ sudo gem install pg
Successfully installed pg-0.20.0
But still sudo apt upgrade gives the same error: "Could not find gem 'pg'

You may be missing a hidden dependency. Try the following:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

I gave up! I reinstalled the Linux server with the Linux LTS version and used the Omnibus package installation..
Problem solved!

Failed to Install Compass 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04

I can't install latest Compass 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.
$ ruby --version
ruby 2.0.0p384 (2014-01-12) [i386-linux-gnu]
$ gem --version
2.0.14
I'm doing:
$ sudo gem install compass -v 1.0.1
The first error in the log is this:
ERROR: Error installing compass:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
And here's the full log:
https://gist.github.com/slavafomin/055394e379e8252bab9e
I'm installing Ruby via this packages:
ruby2.0
ruby2.0-dev
I even tried to install Ruby via RVM, but I'm getting the same error.
What could be the problem?
Is it possible to install latest version of Compass on Ubuntu 14.04 without RVM?
It looks like problem is actually with ffi extension.
When I've tried to install ffi manually with this command: sudo gem install ffi, it failed with the same error as above. However, when I've specified latest stable version like this: sudo gem install ffi -v 1.9.6 it installed correctly. After that Compass installed like a charm.
I will leave it here if someone will encounter this problem in the future.
Also, this Q/A could be useful:
ERROR: Error installing ffi: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
I've posted an issue on FFI's GitHub repository:

Building passenger apache2 module: no such file to load -- rubygems builder

I want to build passenger-3.0.19 apache2 module on a debian squeeze server. After calling passenger-install-apache2-module as root i get the following error message:
Compiling and installing Apache 2 module...
cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.19
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/rake apache2:clean apache2 RELEASE=yes
# /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/rake apache2:clean apache2 RELEASE=yes
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- rubygems/builder
Where is the problem? How can i fix this? Using passenger-install-apache2-module --trace doesn't work (for full stacktrace).
I used the newest passenger version (actually 4.0.0.rc4) from git repository and created a gem. Using this gem worked fine.
git clone https://github.com/FooBarWidget/passenger.git
cd passenger
gem build passenger.gemspec
gem install passenger-*.gem
After that you can build the apache2 plugin using passenger-install-apache2-module.
I had a similar environment (passenger 3.0.9, Ruby 1.8.7) and i solved the problem by downgrading rubygems.
The latest stable RVM will install rubygems v(2+). I downgraded to rubygems v(1.6.2), reinstalled the passenger gem and the problem went away.
in an RVM environment the command is gem update --system 1.6.2
The 1.8.x version of rubygems also works, but it throws too many deprecation warnings on everything you do.
I answered a similar question a few minutes ago, here: Passenger: cannot load such file rubygems/builder
Essentially is an issue with Ruby 2.0. I offer a possible solutions there (extracted from a github comment).
If you're not using Ruby 2.0 then perhaps you need to do: gem install builder
If you are running Ruby 2
Edit the file config/rubber/rubber-passenger.yml and
Change the line
passenger_version: 3.0.19
To
passenger_version: 4.0.35 # works fine with 4.0.35 but you can try a newer version
Remember to check the Ruby version in
config/rubber/rubber-ruby.yml
ruby_version: 2.0.0-p247
Make sure you got zlibc.
sudo apt-get install zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev
then reinstall or recompile ruby.
Had exactly the same problem. On Amazon Linux, following worked fine:
gem install passenger && passenger-install-apache2-module
Running 'gem install passenger' added the latest version to the system. Removed the old one too:
#gem list passenger
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
passenger (4.0.10, 3.0.19)
#gem uninstall passenger
Select gem to uninstall:
1. passenger-3.0.19
2. passenger-4.0.10
3. All versions
> 1
Successfully uninstalled passenger-3.0.19
I had the same issue. To resolve this I had to downgrade rubygems package. My configuration was passenger 3.0.2 and rubygems 1.3.7.

Error running gem env

When I run gem env, I get the following error:
Error loading RubyGems plugin "/home/chenge/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320#global/gems/rubygems-bundler-0.9.2/lib/rubygems_plugin.rb": undefined method `first' for #<String:0x8ec8670> (NoMethodError)
Could anybody help me to understand what this means? Thanks.

Clean Up Complete
Your rubygems-bundler is out-date(0.9.2), install the latest version(1.1.0) will fix that.
$ gem clean
$ gem install rubygems-bundler
I tried on my EC2 instance, it works.
the problem may be caused by:
incorrectly installed Ruby
incorrectly installed RubyGem
incorrectly installed RVM
I suggest you remove the rubygem entirely. ( rm /home/chenge/.rvm/gems -rf ) and then download the latest rubygem then re-install it.

dev_appserver.rb cannot start after rubygems update on Ubuntu 10.04

I had rubygems 1.3.5 (or 1.3.6?) installed and then made a sudo gem update after a long while again. Some gems complained they needed a newer gems version. Because sudo gem update --system is deactivated on Ubuntu I followed these steps: How can I get RubyGems 1.3.6 on Ubuntu 10.4
But now I cannot start the dev_appserver.rb anymore, it says:
=> Bundling gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
Unknown command bundle
I also tried to do sudo gem update and sudo gem update --system again a few times but everything is up-to-date now. Here is a list of my gems: http://pastebin.com/cFaTCyF5
It's a bit of a hack around but I can't really tell what's going on properly from what you sent but I know a few people have been having problems after running gem update --system lately. Find out what version you've just installed with
gem list
Look for the update, should look something like this: rubygems-update-1.5.0
Then try rolling back your rubygems version
sudo gem uninstall rubygems-update -v 1.5.0
sudo gem install rubygems-update -v 1.4.2 <-- try a different version
gem install --system 1.3.7 worked in my case

Ruby Gem package manager failing with Gem::GemNotFoundException

I haven't used Ruby for a while on my Mac. Obviously something has changed in my environment as gem is no longer working as it should.
Some info from my machine, running OSX 10.5.8:
% gem --version
0.9.0
% gem env
Rubygems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.0 (0.9.0)
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- GEM PATH:
- /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- REMOTE SOURCES:
- http://gems.rubyforge.org
The error I'm seeing is:
% sudo gem update --system
Password:
Updating RubyGems...
Attempting remote update of rubygems-update
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
rubygems-update requires builder >= 0
Or if I try to install a new gem:
% sudo gem install bossman
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find bossman (> 0) in the repository
Some people have recommended clearing out the source_cache file, but this didn't help me. Others recommended:
% gem clean
Cleaning up installed gems...
Clean Up Complete
But that also doesn't help.
Can someone please help me get gem working again? Any insight into the reasoning behind this would be helpful. I know sufficiently little about Ruby and gem to find these error messages cryptic.
EDIT
I tried Derick Bailey's suggestion, but without any luck:
% sudo gem install rubygems-update update_rubygems
Password:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
rubygems-update requires builder >= 0
your version of rubygems should support updating, but it's obviously not working. I've been seeing this a lot recently - not just on osx, either.
the "easy" answer is to either re-install your ruby runtime with an updated version of rubygems already packaged with it, or you can install an updated version of rubygems.
for complete instructions on installing rubygems, see http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3
try running this: gem install rubygems-update update_rubygems
if that doesn't work, you'll need to manually update, which can be done with these instructions: http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page13
Ugh, I thought I had fixed these legacy indexes so update_rubygems worked...I guess not. The main problem here is your version of RubyGems is very old, and you'll need to update. Since you can't install gems, (none are listed in the legacy index, in an effort to get you to update) the best thing to do would be to download the .tgz/.zip from http://gemcutter.org/pages/download and run sudo ruby setup.rb.
