I'm trying to install a more recent version of Ruby on Snow Leopard so I can install Jekyll. When trying to install any version of Jekyll I get an error saying that it requires liquid, which requires ruby v2+.
If I try upgrade via rbenv I get the following when trying all versions:
error: failed to download ruby-2.1.1.tar.bz2
BUILD FAILED (OS X 10.6.8 using ruby-build 20181019)
I've also installed Ruby manually from source but this isn't recognised by the system and I can't switch versions.
If i run rbenv global it only recognises the System version of Ruby.
When I try brew upgrade ruby I get the following error:
ruby 2.5.3_1 already installed
If I try link to the new version with brew I get the following error:
brew link --force --overwrite ruby#2.5.3_1
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/ruby#2.5.3_1
RVM doesn't install so I'm not sure what to do next. Below are the details of the packages I have installed.
Xcode 3.2.2 (I cant get an installer working for any higher versions of Xcode). The more recent versions hosted by Apple for Snow Leopard are corrupt when downloaded.
rbenv 1.1.1
brew 1.8.4
ruby 1.8.7 (System)
You have (or had) a path issue. Before you did your follow up steps, if you had run which ruby you'd probably see it pointing to /usr/bin/ruby which is system ruby, not your homebrew ruby in /usr/local/bin/ruby.
You still need to, if you haven't already, add your export command to your ~/.bash_profile file to ensure your PATH gets updated for every terminal window you open.
I'm not sure what actually fixed this but I ran the following commands after reading other posts and now have Jekyll 3.8.3 installed and ruby 2.5.3p105.
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
brew link --overwrite ruby --force
gem install jekyll
Currently I have Erlang version 5.10.4 and OTP "R16B03".
Now I have to update Erlang from version 6.1 and OTP greater than 17.1 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bit) in order to install the latest version of ejabberd (16.02).
For this I have tried instructions at this URL: http://erlang.org/doc/installation_guide/INSTALL.html
but when I am hitting the make command an error is coming:-
Makefile:247: /home/Hemant/otp_src_18.2/make/i686-pc-linux-gnu/otp_ded.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/Hemant/otp_src_18.2/make/i686-pc-linux-gnu/otp_ded.mk'. Stop.
I tried another way:
$ sudo apt-get install erlang
But I am getting the same version (Erlang 5.10) while I have updated the apt-get.
Now how can I get the latest version of Erlang?
When installing erlang do the following from this link:
wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
Now the repository is added simply install esl-erlang with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
Installing ejabberd follow Mickaël's blog post:
git clone git#github.com:processone/ejabberd.git
cd ejabberd
chmod +x autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure
sudo make && make install
Now I do remember getting quite a few compiler errors and all the errors were due to packages not being installed on my system. So when you receive an error from say libexpat then install the package sudo apt-get install libexpat1 and so on for all the following errors.
Good luck!
As your question is more on ejabberd than Erlang itself, you can download ejabberd prepackaged with its own Erlang version from ProcessOne site: https://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads
If you want to learn about alternative ways to install ejabberd, you can follow the official documentation: https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/installation/
You can for example see at bottom of the page instructions to build ejabberd from source if you prefer.
I am trying to check the file in your error but I don't see it in the sources: https://github.com/erlang/otp/tree/OTP-18.2.4/make Can you try to clone it directly from GitHub and then compile? Or...
I recommend you to download Erlang packages specifically precompiled for Ubuntu from Erlang Solutions: https://www.erlang-solutions.com/resources/download.html
I was using them whenever I had to install Erlang on Ubuntu and never had problems. The codename for your Ubuntu would be Trusty Tahr.
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)

I'm getting a permission error on trying to install Jekyll. I'm currently running OSX 10.11 (El Capitan). I also have Xcode 7 and have installed the developer tools. Is there a workaround or is this an OS specific issue?
This is a side effect of Apple's new rootless (aka System Integrity Protection or SIP) feature in OS X El Capitan, but it does not affect /usr/local/bin.
You might try the following:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin/ jekyll
This tells gem to install Jekyll into a folder that isn't protected by SIP, rather than the default protected location under /Library/Ruby/Gems.
This is the solution suggested by Jekyll's developers.
Apple has added System Integrity Protection (SIP) to increase security. This means that Jekyll has been effected as it uses the default Ruby install.
More details on SIP.
To get around this other users have been installing the Homebrew version. It's also likely that Jekyll v3.0 will start to move towards using this version too.
Install the Xcode command line utilities:
xcode-select --install
Install Homebrew (instructions at http://brew.sh)
Modify $PATH to use Homebrew:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Modify $PATH for GUI apps:
launchctl setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Install the latest Ruby:
brew install ruby
Install the latest Jekyll:
gem install jekyll
Don't install Jekyll with Homebrew, The security of Homebrew is unknown : https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/105088/osx-homebrew-security-risks
Here is how you install it without homeBrew: with a vanilla OSX el cap: http://digitalshore.io/how-to-install-jekyll-mac-os-x-el-capitan/
Update 1:
The only drawback is that you have to type in your password everytime you use sudo, which isnt a big deal. I rather do that than install more dependencies. You should host your Jekyll config on github anyway, that way you wont have to deal with the command line at all. Here is my article on how to set Jekyll up with github: http://stylekit.org/blog/2016/01/06/The-Jekyll-Setup/
Update 2:
Since then i've made a 30 second video tutorial on how you can setup a jekyll blog on github: https://vimeo.com/154566844
It seems this was an OS specific issue. I found a similar issue here, and the answer I found here helped solve the problem :
Cannot install cocoa pods after uninstalling, results in error
I ran into the same error message.
Solved for me by installing ruby from brew.
The new El Capitan version of OS X has a new technology called SIP that won't let users (even when using sudo) write to the /usr/bin folder. This breaks the install process. You can disable SIP, but I'd prefer to keep it on since it provides protection against bad stuff.
SIP does allow writing in the /usr/local folder so what I did was manually install ruby there using brew and then install jekyll. That worked fine.
sudo brew install ruby
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"; sudo reboot
reboot
sudo gem install jekyll -V
cd into directory
jekyll serve --watch
If you cannot get it to work you can always try Cloud9.
Cloud9 offers a full development environment in the cloud (running Linux). Their IDE is also quite good and their environments are also very useful for collaboration. Setting up Git is really simple (using the 'git clone' command). With Cloud9 you will be able to work from any computer with a browser, without installing anything.
create a free account on Cloud9 (https://c9.io)
create an empty project (Ubuntu) and follow these steps:
type on the command line: gem install jekyll
create an empty _config.yml file in the root
create a index.md file in the root
type on the command line: jekyll serve --host $IP --port $PORT --baseurl ''
your website is now running 'locally' on Cloud9
The content of your index.md file:
---
title: Home
---
Hello world!
With Cloud9 you can develop on Linux and feel like a pro. Try it! You will love it.
Try :
sudo su
Enter your password, try again as root gem install jekyll
I'm having some trouble installing jekyll. Can't quite figure out how to patch the missing link. I think it's an update to Ruby, but RVM is having trouble installing alternate versions of ruby as well.
Heres the full post:
$ sudo gem install jekyll
ERROR: Error installing jekyll:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fast-stemmer-1.0.1/ext/gem_make.out
Does this mean I need to update the version of ruby I'm using via rvm?
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
gem install jekyll
Your problem is that either you system doesn't know where make is located at or you don't have it installed. The easiest way to fix this (and probably other issues you'll run into trying to get a ruby system up and running) is to install xcode.
You can get it at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12 for lion. Or it came on a CD with your computer for earlier versions.
If you're using Lion, please see comments below for a link to how to install developer tools on Lion.
I had the same error on Ubuntu and this helped me sort it out.
You must have ruby-dev installed
apt-get install ruby-dev
If you installed XCode and command line tools are still missing go to Terminal and
xcode-select --install
it will prompt you to install these tools. After that just follow SrBlanco´s answer. That solved the problem for me.
Good luck.
Need to install "make".
I am using Ubuntu 12.10.
sudo apt-get install make
Should work on any Debian based distro.
Note: this problem also occurs on newer MacBook Pro models that come with Mavericks pre-installed. I updated another post with my own solution that didn't involve Xcode at all. My system had the Xcode developer tools installed when I got the machine.
ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
Install Xcode as mentioned if you don't have it installed already (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/). Plus you need the command line tools.
Open Xcode. Go to Preferences > Downloads > Install Command Line Tools
Installing command line tools for Xcode solved the problem for me on my Mac
xcode-select --install.
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
hope this will help, it works with me.
I had this same exact error when trying to install Jekyll, and the following steps from this link helped me. Just in case anyone else comes across this!
http://davidensinger.com/2013/03/installing-jekyll/
I was facing the same issue in my Fedora 22 setup. I had ruby installed but didn't have ruby-devel. Installing ruby-devel fixed the issue for me.
dnf install -y ruby-devel
For older systems:
yum install -y ruby-devel
I followed this on Ubuntu/Linux Mint
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
An addendum: You can install XCode now from the App Store on Mountain Lion. The process is transparent and pretty fast.
I had the same problems with you.
I use Mac OS X 10.9 develop preview version, and I had installed gcc and Xcode.
But my Xcode version is 4.6.
Then I install the Xcode 5.0
After that I type sudo gem install jekyll in the terminal again. Then it works.
Wish it could help someone.
Installing Xcode and going to perferencs > downloads > install commandline tools WORKS!
Same problem on Debian, I had forgot to run this command:
~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
All these answers did NOT work for me.
If you're looking for a solution on ubuntu 14.04, do this:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev zlib1g-dev nodejs
sudo gem install jekyll -v 2.5.3
Unfortunately, nodejs is required because of a bug in Jekyll that enforces existence of runtime JS engine even though it doesn't need one.
For Ubuntu, this helped in my case:
apt-get install libffi-dev
A general advice is to just follow what is displayed as the reason for the error and hopefully you'll be provided with a log file in which the first line suggests which package should be installed, in my case:
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:
/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.3.0/ffi-1.9.21/mkmf.log
MacOS
my solution to this problem
install xcode
type xcode-select --install in the command line
type sudo gem install jekyll in the command line
PS: It is the combination of the two answers in this question.
You are missing the ruby-dev file , just go ahead and run this command - sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Hope this helps!!
I had the same issue on my macOS(10.14.2), the reason may be:
Apparently with OSX el Capitan, there is a new security function that prevents you from modifying system files called Rootless.
My solution is using rvm:
install ruby on Mac OS X with RVM
gem install jekyll
On windows I have this issue
I actually installed the version rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.3-1-x64 of ruby
I have removed the ruby completely and Installed the rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.5-1-x64
and issued the following commands on powershell
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
and this time no errors where found
I had this issue and of all things, the error was occurring because I hadn't agreed to some updated terms of service in xcode. Running the following did the trick for me. Go figure.
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
For me, I had to upgrade homebrew and install rbenv to the latest ruby version. After that, I followed the instruction at jekyll website. My OS is Catalina 2019, I couldn't install Xcode, which is not compatible yet!
You have to set the path in your .bash_profile to make sure that it initializes the rbenv when you restart your terminal.
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
then
$ rbenv version
2.2.3 (set by /Users/mislav/.rbenv/version)
$ rbenv shell
rbenv: no shell-specific version configured
hope that help!
Here is the (only?) reliable and simple way to install Jekyll on macOS
Install UTM
Install Ubuntu Server
Install Jekyll using Ubuntu instructions at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/ubuntu/
Forward port 22 in the VM settings (22->localhost->22)
Use VS Code on the macOS host
Install Remote SSH
Connect to USER#localhost
Drag and drop the folder on Mac into VS Code (this transfers files to remote)
Enable port forwarding for 4000 (bottom bar on VS Code)
Work on your website
Right click on your website on the file explorer and click download
If you have not done these steps, you might be delighted by:
Ubuntu imports your public SSH key from GitHub
VS Code magically handles file transfer in and out
VS Code magically installs your VS Code extensions onto the remote server and allows file search on the remote host
i want to install phusion passenger together with ruby enterprise edition on x86_64 SMP ubuntu 10.04. the recommended option seems to be
apache2-mpm-worker
but when i run passenger-install-apache2-module
the installation routine of phusion passenger complains
To install Apache 2 development
headers: Please run apt-get install
apache2-prefork-dev as root.
why do we need prefork-dev here, if we clearly want to run passenger with mpm-worker apache2?
any suggestions? is there a worker-dev package?
The worker dev package on Debian & Ubuntu is "apache2-threaded-dev".
Apt-file shows that this installs /usr/bin/apxs2 among other things, so I think this is what you're looking for. By the way, I found this package by using "apt-cache search apache mpm dev".
