MacOS – Error Installing Jekyll on Mac

macosterminal

I'm trying to install Jekyll, a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. When I attempted to run the terminal command gem install jekyll, I got this error:

Error installing Jekyll. Failed to build gem native extensions.

I then tried to update my RubyGems, using the command sudo gem update --system. That didn't work. Hopefully, I don't have to re-install Ruby. What a headache that would be!

Following Seth Warburton's steps on Install Jekyll in OSX Mavericks, try adding sudo to the install command:

sudo gem install jekyll

If you need to update or re-install Ruby, consider using an isolated edition via brew.

No don't update the Apple supplied ruby as that could affect existing ruby scripts and will get overridden in a System Upgrade.

To install ruby see the Download Ruby page from the ruby language website (the main page of which you should have bookmarked)

The two ways that you should consider are

Download the RVM. Then edit your .bash_profile to put the bin path of the install at the front of your PATH.
Use a package manager (e.g. Macports, Fink, Homebrew) and put their path at the front of your PATH ( I would use this only if you have C libraries that you need as well)

Mac – bash- command not fount error

First, get your PATH back for the current shell by running

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
export PATH

Then fix the PATH problems

edit your bash-profile and put back the line you've deleted. If you don't remember, take the two lines from above
path_helper takes its input from the files in /etc/paths.d, at least one of those files seems to be corrupt (the last two entries in the output look kind of strange). To fix, run /bin/ls -l /etc/paths.d to get the name of the file containing the additions for omnet++ (should be named accordingly) and remove it with sudo /bin/rm /etc/paths.d/NAME-OF-FILE
