Error installing bcyrpt-ruby gem bundle

Question

I'm trying to install the Devises gem, running bundle install and then getting this error with bcrypt-ruby which I haven't had before. What can I do?

Installing bcrypt-ruby (3.0.1) with native extensions

An error occured while installing bcrypt-ruby (3.0.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install bcrypt-ruby -v '3.0.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Okay, so I need to install bcrypt-ruby...

Answer 1

Either you haven't installed XCode or your developer directory is configured incorrectly.

If the first, try installing XCode.

If the second, try this (or some variation, depending on where your XCode directory is)

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Answer 2

gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '~>3.0.1', :github => 'rking/bcrypt-ruby'

rking's fork of bcrypt-ruby comments out failing c compilation patch for 3.0.1. Bcrypt-ruby fixed this problem a year ago, but not for version 3.0.1, which seems to be the dependency your Rails app requires.

See the issue on github: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/2410
