I have installed yeoman, and after running yeoman server
I get the following error
Running "compass:dist" (compass) task
<FATAL> You need to have Compass installed. </FATAL>
How do install compass and get it to work with yeoman? I am using a mac (mountain lion) and have tried yeoman install compass with no luck.
There are instructions on how to install Compass on the Compass website.
It's very easy, just do it like Compass Page says, and after that, you can work with the yeoman without problems.
gem update --system
gem install compass

I get this error when I try to compile using Compass on Codekit:
Compass failed to run because your Mac has an older version of Sass
and/or Compass installed that conflicts with the newer versions in
CodeKit. You must remove all versions of Sass below 3.3.rc6 and all
versions of Compass below 1.0.alpha18. Do this at the command line by
running 'sudo gem uninstall sass' and 'sudo gem uninstall compass'.
I ran sudo gem uninstall sass and sudo gem uninstall compass, however when I try to compile through CodeKit again I get the same error.
try running gem query --local this will list local gems, once you have a list, just go through and remove all sass+compass related gems with sudo gem uninstall ___, pretty sure that compass also has compass-core, but there are probably more
How have you initially installed your gems? Is it possible that you've also installed gems with just gem install? Cuz sudo gem installs gems as root for all users while gem install only installs gems for your active user. So maybe gems left installed which aren't uninstalled with sudo gem uninstall?
On the other hand why uninstall compass at all. I am running Codekit 2.1 with its internal Sass 3.3.10 along with the external gem Compass 0.12.4. That actually works quite well. You have go to Codekit Preferences -> Other Tools -> Compassand choose the radio button "Use the Compass executable at this path" and select your Compass gem then.
If you are using RVM for your ruby management then switch to your system ruby version
rvm use system
and install sass and compass for this version
sudo gem install sass
sudo gem install compass
This worked for me!
I downloaded two gem files: Sass-3.3.7.gem & compass-0.12.6.gem
I ran gem install --local Sass-3.3.7.gem which it installed.
Followed by the same command for compass, but got the error:
unable to resolve dependencies: compass requires sass (~>3.2.19)
I'm installing them pre-downloaded as I have no connection. Anyone knows what can be the solution?
Compass 0.12.6 apparently depends on sass ~>3.2.19, which means that the version of sass should be bigger than 3.2 and smaller than 3.3, so basically compass needs sass 3.2.x. You have two options.
Also download sass 3.2.19, install both versions of sass, use the latest one yourself and make compass happy.
Just install sass 3.2.19 and use that yourself as well, this obviously only works if you don't need any features introduced in sass 3.3.
Install Sass 3.2.19:
sudo gem install sass -v 3.2.19
I didn't need Sass 3.3.7, and Jekyll keep finding the latest version installed, so I got uninstalled Sass 3.3.7:
sudo gem uninstall sass
Sass doesn't seem to overwrite previous versions, so I still had 3.3.2 installed (if there are multiple versions installed it gives you a choice of what version you'd like to uninstall), so I uninstalled that as well.
You can run gem dependency <gem name> to see list of the gem dependencies and required versions.
I have just upgraded to Sass 3.3 so that I can use some of the new features (BEM styled class names, mappings, #at-root, etc). If I compile my project with Sass (via sass --watch), it works just fine. However, if I compile it using Compass (via compass watch), I get an error when using the new Sass features.
I'm using Compass 0.12.
Compass 0.12 explicitly depends on Sass 3.2. Even if you have a newer version of Sass installed, it will still compile with 3.2. In order to use Sass 3.3 or later, you have to be using Compass 1.0 or later.
Running the gem install command normally should get you the latest stable version.
gem install compass
At the time this question was asked, Compass 1.0 was still in beta. To install the latest beta version of a gem, you will need to install it using the --pre flag.
gem install compass --pre
Note that you do not need to install Sass first in order for this to work. Installing Compass will automatically install the latest version of Sass that it is compatible with.
I have Compass 1.0 installed and it still errors
Double check any other dependencies you might have (Compass extensions, etc.), one of them might be specifying an older version of Sass or Compass.
If you're using an application or build tool rather than using the commands directly, make sure they're not referencing older versions of Compass.
Windows users
As a Window user, I got an error when I tried to watch my project using the newer Compass.
LoadError on line ["36"] of C: cannot load such file -- wdm"
To fix that problem:
You must install the ruby DevKit:
Download found here: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Follow this page to properly install:
https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit
Now install wdm:
gem install wdm
There didn't seem to be any one place that contained the whole list of steps required, in order, to make this work, so here they are. This list is for Windows, but it may work fine on other platforms.
Install Ruby -- use 1.9.3 -- http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads .
Download the Ruby DevKit found lower on the same page -- http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
run it to extract it somewhere (permanent). Then cd to it, run “ruby dk.rb init” and “ruby dk.rb install” to bind it to ruby installations in your path.
gem install wdm
gem install sass
gem install compass --pre
It now is, in the latest version of Compass. Update compass to get the changes and work with Sass 3.3 and higher
Current Sass compatibility can be found here: https://rubygems.org/gems/compass
To upgrade just run
$gem install compass
CodeKit is giving me the error of
Compass was unable to compile one or more files in the project:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: illegal switch in RUBYOPT: -E (RuntimeError)
(This action was triggered by a change to _settings.scss)
It was working fine before the Upgrade.
Found the solution. Go to the "Terminal" and type:
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install compass
And it's done!
You have CodeKit set to use an external Compass compiler, but you're running that Compass compiler in the old version of Ruby from 10.8 (Ruby 1.8.7).
You need to make sure Compass is running on the new system-installed version of Ruby (2.0) in Mavericks. Once you do that, you'll be all set. If you're using RVM, you can switch it back to the system Ruby and then simply run sudo gem install Compass to have Compass installed in the standard location.
I had this same problem just now. I installed compass again as Bryan suggested. After this it still didn't work, so I went into my preferences and saw that I previously had Codekit compiling from Compass at a user selected path. I switched this to "USe Codekit's internal Compass copmiler" and it is working again.
Found the solution. Go to the "Terminal" and type:
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install compass
If you see this error:
Gem::LoadError on line ["298"] of /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/dependency.rb: Could not find 'zurb-foundation' ....
You probably need to install zurb-foundation, type this:
sudo gem install zurb-foundation
I just Changed my Compass Advanced settings back to internal compass compiler (recommended) and it worked.
I have successfully installed Ruby Gems on my Mac many times. I need to configure a Windows 7 Enterprise virtual machine with Compass, Sass and Suzy.
I downloaded an installed Ruby on the Windows machine with the installer, 1.9.3. I ran gem update --system which updated Rubygems to 1.8.4.
I was able to install Sass 3.2 by running gem install sass
However, if I run gem install compass or gem install susy I get an error:
Error while excecuting gem .. (ArgumentError) marshall data too short
Any ideas? At this point, I can't install those gems.
The alternative solution..: Download gem compass from here to your ruby root folder. Then try again
gem install compass
It should install this time..Good luck
Had same issue, updating rubygems system solved it. Just use the following command
gem update --system
For those finding this question, many great tips here. Using them, I found this solution to work:
At the N: prompt in "start command line with ruby environment", I used the command rmdir /S .gem which deleted all gems. I then installed them again with gem install as directed on their respective host web pages. Hope this helps someone.
