Failed to install github-pages on windows 7 x64 - ruby

Question

I am trying to build website using Jekyll in Github Pages, I have issues installing github-pages gem in my local machine Windows 7 x64 Enterprise version.
Here is the steps I took:
* installed ruby 2.1.7 32bit at c:\Ruby21\ (file rubyinstaller-2.1.7.exe)
* installed corresponding devkit at c:\Devkit\ (file DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe)
* run “gem install json --platform=ruby” to install RubyGems library JSON
* confirm JSON gem ok: ruby -rubygems -e "require 'json'; puts JSON.load('[42]').inspect, I got response 42.
run “gem install bundler”, installed ok.
I went to local repo, created a Gemfile with content:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'github-pages'
run "bundle install"
The last run was failed with following message:
Installing rdiscount 2.1.7 with native extensions

An error occurred while installing rdiscount (2.1.7), and Bundler cannot

Make sure that `gem install rdiscount -v '2.1.7'` succeeds before bundling.

--------------------
I don't have background on c. I am not sure what the issue is and how to fix it.
Any help is appreciated!
PS:
I've tried different Ruby versions(2.1.7/2.2.3) and x86/x64, all resulted the same error. I also tried in another machine with win7 ultimate and installation without any error. I am suspecting there is some error specific to this particular win7 ent machine.
The cmd I ran is with admin rights.

Answer 1

Possibly related: You have a 64-bit OS but are using a 32-bit Ruby. Try a 64-bit Ruby (and DevKit).
You might also try Ruby 2.2.2, which is explicitly tested on 64-bit Windows.
