I built a gem for my own usage and when I want to install it I get the following:
$ gem install mygem
Successfully installed mygem-0.0.1
1 gem installed
Installing RDoc documentation for mygem-0.0.1...
Invalid output formatter
For help on options, try 'rdoc --help'
The gem works fine, but I would like to know what is causing this since I never saw it when installing any other gem. Looks like it is somehow related to RDoc but I couldn't find anything searching about it.
Thanks in advance.
Can you check your RDoc output format? A similar question was found here

I cannot find Ruby-opencv 0.0.10 API manual on the web. On the web, I just find version 0.0.7 document, it seems out of date.
Then I try to create rdoc myself, but gem rdoc ruby-opencv cannot work.
gem rdoc ruby-opencv
Parsing documentation for ruby-opencv-0.0.10
unable to convert "\xE0" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/opencv.so, skipping
How to solve it? Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance.
I finally find a way to get the API doc. It's quiet simple.
Just go to the source files dirctory of gem Ruby-opencv, then run rdoc there.
In myown machine, it's as following
cd /home/uncutstone/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/ruby-opencv-0.0.10/ext
rdoc --ri
I am trying to search TCPSocket ruby class documentation with ri but it shows nothing. Most of the gems are shown. I am using rvm, and require 'socket' works perfectly. How to fix this?
Try using:
gem rdoc --all
The documentation says:
--all Generate RDoc/RI documentation for all
installed gems
You can find these things out by typing:
gem help
or
gem help rdoc
at the command line.
You might want to throw on --overwrite to overwrite existing documentation.
Old versions of Ruby, around 1.8, didn't always have the core and/or std-lib documentation generated. There's a gem you can install that patches that, but I don't remember what it was right now.

Rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.9.3p125: ruby-debug19 still crashes with “Symbol not found: _ruby_threadptr_data_type”
I run this:
gem install ruby-debug19
And in my cucumber env.rb file, I have this:
require 'ruby-debug'
When I try to run, though, I get this exception:
/home/skendall/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/ruby-debug-base19-0.11.25/lib/ruby_debug.so: undefined symbol: ruby_current_thread - /home/skendall/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/ruby-debug-base19-0.11.25/lib/ruby_debug.so (LoadError)
What do I need to do to get ruby-debug to work with 1.9.3-p0?
UPDATE: ruby-debug19 is not maintained anymore. This question and my answer have become irrelevant, it's far easier to use the 'debugger' gem instead.
See Debugging in ruby 1.9
I also ran into this, and found the solution in Ruby 1.9.3 and ruby-debug. You need to install not-yet-officially-released versions of ruby-debug-base19 and linecache19. The currently released versions indeed cause the exception you had.
Use this gist.
#To install ruby-debug on Ubuntu ruby-1.9.3 you need to download from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=8883
linecache19-0.5.13.gem
ruby_core_source-0.1.5.gem
ruby-debug19-0.11.6.gem
ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem
#Then in your console
export RVM_SRC=/your/path/to/ruby-1.9.3
# Note, your source path should be something like /home/user/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0
gem install archive-tar-minitar
gem install ruby_core_source-0.1.5.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC
gem install linecache19-0.5.13.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC
gem install ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC
gem install ruby-debug19-0.11.6.gem -- --with-ruby-include=/$RVM_SRC
This is a known bug. There's reportedly some work arounds here, here and finally here.
If the workarounds are annoying and/or impossible due to your rvm/bundler setup, which is the case with me, consider pry, and optionally the pry-debug plugin. Pry might be a more generally useful tool than ruby-debug anyways.
I am trying to install chiliproject on a server, following the -well done- documentation I am hitting this error
Could not find gem 'rubytree (~> 0.5.2) ruby' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
I did a gem install rubytree
I get this message
========================================================================
Thank you for installing rubytree.
WARNING: SIGNIFICANT API CHANGE in 0.8.0 !
------------------------------------------
Please note that as of 0.8.0 the CamelCase method names are DEPRECATED.
The new method names follow the ruby_convention (separated by '_').
The old CamelCase methods still work (a warning will be displayed),
but may go away in the future.
Details of the API changes are documented in the API-CHANGES file.
========================================================================
Successfully installed rubytree-0.8.1
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rubytree-0.8.1...
file 'COPYING,API-CHANGES' not found
Installing RDoc documentation for rubytree-0.8.1...
file 'COPYING,API-CHANGES' not found
That is saying the installation was succesful. So why do I get the error ?
If the error is from the API change how can I request version 0.5.2 of the rubytree gem ?
When I do a gem list --local | grep 'rubytree'
I have this output rubytree (0.8.1)
So why is the system saying could not find gem 'rubytree' ?
thank you for any help,
Depending on what version of rails you are using (and it sounds like you are using a relatively newer one, if it's prompting you for your Gemfile), then you need to use Bundler to manage your gems.
Try editing your Gemfile, adding a new line that reads:
gem "rubytree", "< 0.6"
Then open up a console, and type this command
bundle install
This should fix your problems, but if you still get errors when running a command, then try typing bundle exec prior to the command (i.e. rails server becomes bundle exec rails server).
Currently, we require rubytree exactly in version 0.5.2 or 0.5.3, as specified in our Gemfile, the 0.8.1. version you installed by hand will not suffice that requirement, which is exactly what the error message states.
What seems a bit odd is the literal ruby in the error message. Could you please make sure that you have the exact unchanged Gemfile from the source on your system? Also, could you please remove any user-installed plugins and try again? Also, which ruby (type and version) on which operating system are you using?
I get an error while trying to install the ffi gem:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

I'm getting frequent errors of all kinds while installing gems with native extensions, so I assume that there's something broken with my Ubuntu installation, but I've no idea what. I'll post any information you need to diagnose the problem.
EDIT: When I cd to the ffi gem (mentioned in the second but last line), and run the rake line in line 6, I get "Could not find RubyGem rake-compiler".
After gem i rake-compiler, and run rake again, I get this:
configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first
make: *** [/home/mdemare/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/ffi-1.0.6/build/x86_64-linux/ffi_c/1.9.2/libffi/.libs/libffi_convenience.a] Error 1

Update:
These are my rake gemspecs:
~ - 10:59>find ~/.rvm/ -name 'rake-0.8.7.gemspec'
~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/specifications/rake-0.8.7.gemspec
~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136#global/specifications/rake-0.8.7.gemspec
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications/rake-0.8.7.gemspec
The last one is where gem looks, but that gemspec is different from the first one, and doesn't include the executable. Copying the long one doesn't quite solve the problem though - I get a file not found for the rake executable.
This caused me a ton of aggravation at the Boston Hack Day when trying to install Vagrant (for which FFI is a dependency). I ended up wasting so much time that I switched machines to work around the problem.
After the fact, I found a hack that works (although I'm sure there's a better solution). The file that the error message is complaining about
~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/rake
differs from other similar copies in that it's missing path setup stuff at the head, so I copied these lines from one of the files that had them:
[genericized per #danv's answer below. Thanks for the improvement!]
ENV['GEM_HOME']=ENV['GEM_HOME'] || '~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180'
ENV['GEM_PATH']=ENV['GEM_PATH'] || '~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180:~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#global'
ENV['PATH']='~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#global/bin:~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:' + ENV['PATH']
That fixed it for me. This was a new Ubuntu 10.10 install with no default Ruby installation (which could be part of the problem) and Ruby 1.9.2 installed using RVM. Lots of other gems installed fine, including those requiring native compilation, so the problem is something specific to FFI.
I had a similar problem, and a workaround at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=529663 helped me.
In short, try to install the gem with:
$ rake=/usr/bin/rake gem install ffi
#Tom Morris - Tried your method and it worked fine.
I inserted your path specs (modified - see below) into ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/rake after line 12.
I modified the path specs so they are generic using ~ for the user home:
ENV['GEM_HOME']=ENV['GEM_HOME'] || "~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180"
ENV['GEM_PATH']=ENV['GEM_PATH'] || "~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180:~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#global"
ENV['PATH']="~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#global/bin:~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:"+ ENV['PATH']
Thanks for finding this fix!
Thanks #Tim Morris and #danv, your answers / comments helped. I adjusted for my setup, which is based more towards a superuser environment. Now this is what /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/rake looks like on my server:
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0"
ENV['GEM_HOME']=ENV['GEM_HOME'] || "/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180"
ENV['GEM_PATH']=ENV['GEM_PATH'] || "/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#global"
if ARGV.first =~ /^_(.*)_$/ and Gem::Version.correct? $1 then
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end
gem 'rake', version
load Gem.bin_path('rake', 'rake', version)
The installer attempts to run rake but fails when it isn't found:
can't find gem rake ([">= 0"]) with executable rake (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
You need to install the rake gem: gem install rake.
