Unable to install Jekyll gem since upgrading to Xcode 4.1 - ruby

I have previously successfully installed the Jekyll gem on a Mac with the gcc compiler that shipped with Xcode 3. Unfortunately I can't install it on a different Mac that now has Xcode 4.1. This Mac used to have Xcode 3, but I uninstalled it using the command sudo /Developer-3.2.5/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all.
When trying to sudo gem install jekyll I get the compilation error shown below:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing jekyll:

There seems to be a fairly fundamental problem here! How can I fix this? I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 and RubyGems 1.3.7 1.8.10.
Thanks in advance.

Now this is weird. I reinstalled Xcode 4.1 last night and it's fixed the problem: I can compile the native extensions and install the Jekyll gem.
I was able to reinstall Xcode because according to the Mac App Store it wasn't installed at all, even though I've been happily using it! I think the store must look for the existence of the Install XCode application in the /Applications folder, which I'd deleted because it's just an installer and takes up over 3GB.

Before running gem install jekyll try entering export CC=gcc-4.2 as per: RVM with Lion If this fixes your issue, it's because gems is depending on GCC instead of LLVM, which is now default in 4.1. Add the export CC=gcc-4.2 to your ~/.bashrc file to not have to enter it every time you need to compile gem.

RubyGems 1.3.7 is quite out of date. We're talking about 1.8.9... I suggest you to upgrade it.
I'm using Lion without any issue, but I have to admit I'm not using system Ruby. I installed a different 1.8.7 (and 1.9.2) version using RVM.

Apparently Apple broke something on Mavericks, they removed the warning flag unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future acording to this issue: #528
Please try this command:
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future sudo gem install pushmeup
what it does? this sets the environment variable: ARCHFLAGS= this adds a ignore warnings -Wno-error= and this is the warning that you don't see in mavericks unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future (which should be ignored)
In Apple documentation:
Compiler
As of Apple LLVM compiler version 5.1 (clang-502) and later, the
optimization level -O4 no longer implies link time optimization (LTO).
In order to build with LTO explicitly use the -flto option in addition
to the optimization level flag. (15633276) The Apple LLVM compiler in
Xcode 5.1 treats unrecognized command-line options as errors. This
issue has been seen when building both Python native extensions and
Ruby Gems, where some invalid compiler options are currently
specified. Projects using invalid compiler options will need to be
changed to remove those options. To help ease that transition, the
compiler will temporarily accept an option to downgrade the error to a
warning:
-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
Note: This option will not be supported in the future. To workaround
this issue, set the ARCHFLAGS environment variable to downgrade the
error to a warning. For example, you can install a Python native
extension with:
$ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
easy_install ExtensionName
Similarly, you can install a Ruby Gem with:
$ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
gem install GemName 16214764 updated

From what i saw you are not using rvm or rbenv so the problem is not in gcc dependencies
Accordingly to the output provided, the error was when installing json-1.8.1.

I am encountering the exact same problem after updating Xcode to 5.1 and news from Apple aren't good. From Xcode 5.1 Release Notes:
The Apple LLVM compiler in Xcode 5.1 treats unrecognized command-line options as errors. This issue has been seen when building both Python native extensions and Ruby Gems, where some invalid compiler options are currently specified.
Projects using invalid compiler options will need to be changed to remove those options. To help ease that transition, the compiler will temporarily accept an option to downgrade the error to a warning:
-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
To workaround this issue, set the ARCHFLAGS environment variable to downgrade the error to a warning.
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future gem install GemName
It seems that all gems violating the compiler options must be updated to use valid options. It is explicitly stated that: This option [downgrading error to warning] will not be supported in the future.
The clang note we are seeing (this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future) corresponds to the change announced in the release notes.
To answer your question specifically, use the following to install the json gem:
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future gem install json
Note, however, that this is only a temporary fix.
One-liner to fix that
curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Paulche/9713531/raw/1e57fbb440d36ca5607d1739cc6151f373b234b6/gistfile1.txt | sudo patch /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/universal-darwin13/rbconfig.rb
To address the issue you can install the most recent version of ruby as described by #Sash. You can use the following commands to do so. In case you already have installed rvm, you don't need to reinstall it.
#Install rvm
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
#Install ruby version 2.0.0-p451
rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p451
#Print ruby version to verify that it was installed successfully
ruby -v
#Install json gem
sudo gem install json
Issue already addressed by Ruby:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9624
now we just need to wait for Apple to update their ruby version (2.0.0p247) to the one after the latest one (2.0.0p451) which hasn't come out yet ...
(or brew/macport it)
Update (2014-05-15): Mavericks 10.9.3 updates ruby to
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
And this seems to resolves the issue.
#Muncken has already provided an answer to install gem one by one:
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future gem install GemName
Base on Muncken's answer, I've tried that it also works when using bundle install
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future bundle install
In my case, I actually have similar problem, but not on the system ruby, but on rubies installed by rvm from OSX 10.8, and it has issues after upgrading to OSX 10.9.
A simple reinstall works: rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.1
On OSX 10.10, I had several issues when running rails new firstapp such as:
ERROR: Error installing json:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
fatal error: 'ruby/config.h' file not found
I updated rvm with this configuration and all the errors are gone!:
rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles
You can tell from the app name that I just started fiddling with Ruby on Rails, so the above advice may or may not work for you.
Paul Chechetin's one-liner doesn't appear to work anymore (9/21/15). However, this reply to the post mentioned in Pete's reply solved the problem for me:
(a) Install Apple's XCode, then (b) launch it and accept the licensing terms (I had done (a), but not (b).)
sudo gem uninstall compass
sudo gem install compass
None of these worked for me.
What finally worked is running the command with a sudo -
gem install byebug -v '9.0.6'
It's been a while and I've got similar error. An alternative to folks using bundler is to add the flag to the build configuration like below example:
bundle config build.<gemname> --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
followed by
bundle install
Please note that you must replace <gemname> above with the name of the actual gem that is throwing the error while building native extensions.
I hope this becomes helpful to others that face similar issues in the future!
I used a simple solution... install through brew
brew install name

Hope this help you.
Besides upgrading xcode, as rayrashmi suggested, you have to actually open it so the command-line tools are properly installed.
(I am assuming you installed the command-line tools from xcode before upgrading to mavericks, if you haven't they're under Preferences → Downloads → Components, official info here.)
Then, just upgrade gem if you haven't already done so and install jekyll and any other library you were using, like pigments.
As they say, "worked for me."

I've installed the ruby1.9.1-dev package already. I've tried compiling with gcc 4.6 as opposed to 3.2.2 showed in the output I pasted. I also don't know if the native extension error is making the gcc die. I've also rebuilt ruby from scratch.
Maybe I should try with another Ruby version? Though I know 1.9.3 is supported by jekyll.
Any help will be appreciated.
Try installing Jekyll from Ruby or Ruby and Rails command prompt instead of any other command prompt
I am not an expert at all, so my suggested solution is just a 'guess' based on my experience below.
I am using Windows 7. Although you're using Ubuntu and not Windows 7, this solution might work for pretty much anyone with the same problem.
First, I installed Ruby from RailsInstaller. Then, I wanted to install Jekyll. I tried installing Jekyll from Cygwin. However, I received the following error (although it is not identical to the questioner's error, I think it is sufficiently similar):
$ gem install jekyll

However, when I tried to install Jekyll from Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails (i.e. Ruby command prompt), Jekyll installed successfully.
Just in case this matters, I removed the system variable {Variable:Comspec,Value:C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe} before (successfully) trying to install Jekyll from the Ruby and Rails command prompt.

Rails 3 won't install sqlite3-ruby gem with rvm?

I'm trying out rvm, and installed ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3 with it. I need to re-install the sqlite3-ruby gem (since rvm keeps all gems separate for different versions of ruby).
The problem is, when I try, I get:

I'm really not quite sure what to make of it... I HAVE installed sqlite3-ruby on this machine before (with rails 2.3.5) When I try to reinstall this gem (using rvm system settings) it doesn't install in a ruby 1.8.7 enviornment, EITHER.
Did rvm break the gem? Is the new gem just not compatible with my OS (i'm running opensuse linux)
Edit: When I try re-installing (uninstalling than installing again) sqlite3-ruby in my regular ruby environment, I get the same error, but then see sqlite3-ruby listed in my gem list (not sure if it's somehow restoring from backup, or installing despite the error)
I'd vote up or comment on Brennan's answer but I don't have enough points to do that yet. I figured I'd leave this answer in case it helps anyone else: I've spent a while on this one...I had Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 3.0.3 installed and working but decided to move to RVM. Installed RVM according to directions and then installed rails again, all gravy...then tried to bundle install and ran into this error with sqlite3:

sqlite3 is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal'
or 'yum install sqlite3-devel' and check your shared library search path (the

I know I had SQLite3 working before in my previous config, so I went to find the original dir. which was usr/local/sqlite3
I tried using that as the --with-sqlite3-dir= path but didn't work. Then just for fun I tried:
gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/usr/local/lib
and for wahtever reason, that worked. So, just in case someone
You could try
gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/path/to/your/sqlite3
And if that doesn't work, you might try to update your sqlite3, 3.6.4 is rather old, and I think the newer versions of Ruby sqlite have problems with something that old.
(And the most likely reason that you're getting different answers with the two is that between versions 2 and 3 was a major change -- mostly dealing with Unicode, I believe -- and some programs still use 2, not 3.)
When I installed sqlite3 from source it placed the include files in /usr/local/include
I tried
gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/usr/local/lib
and it finally installed.
on ubuntu 9.04 I also had to download sqlite and install from source
