Error Installing Atomic

Question

I'm trying to install gems to my new Ruby project using bundle install. I've set the version of Ruby using rbenv on my OS X 10.8.4 box. I get the following error:

An error occurred while installing atomic (1.1.13), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install atomic -v '1.1.13'` succeeds before bundling.

The first two lines are the end of the output from first attempt. As you can see, I then successfully installed atomic as requested. I then tried again and got the same error. I've seen a few errors with installing atomic, but none like this one. It seems to have a problem with the option -R. Since I didn't enter it in the first place, I don't know where to change it.

Update

I started all over rbenv set to version 2.0.0-p0 and and ran rails new jazz catalog -d mysql. It died at the same place with this error:

SOLVED Sigh - does not handle spaces in path

Answer 1

For those who got here by googling: I ran into something similar with atomic 1.1.14.

In my case it was actually Avast (anti-virus program) that wouldn't let me execute an atomic-specific file.

It was solved by excluding the file from Avast, and then run gem install atomic -v '1.1.14' again.

Answer 2

This 100% has to do with Spaces in the path. The error it spits out shows the attempted install path. Annoying error.
