Re: [RubyInstaller] Cucumber Gem installation problem on Windows!!!

[James Cowlishaw]

Hi Sophia,

Assuming that your ruby install is from rubyinstaller.org, you will need to make sure the devkit (compiler toolchain) is installed.

Check your ruby with:

  C:\ruby -v

Mine shows the following, it is the i386-mingw32 that is important for compatibility with the devkit:

  ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [i386-mingw32]

See  http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ and look for the development kit download.

You can also refer to the wiki page ( https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit ) for a walkthrough.

Once the devkit is installed and working, try installing cucumber gem again:

D:\>gem install cucumber
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Fetching: gherkin-2.11.1-x86-mingw32.gem (100%)
Fetching: builder-3.0.0.gem (100%)
Fetching: diff-lcs-1.1.3.gem (100%)
Fetching: cucumber-1.2.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed json-1.7.3
Successfully installed gherkin-2.11.1-x86-mingw32
Successfully installed builder-3.0.0
Successfully installed diff-lcs-1.1.3
Successfully installed cucumber-1.2.1
5 gems installed

I hope that gets you back to work.

James.

The error is localized to the json gem, so we will try to install it.

From the error below:

It seems Ruby is having problems to find the compiler toolchain (make,
gcc and others)

Can you confirm that you installed DevKit? (following the instructions
from the wiki):

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

First you need to download it from the RubyInstaller page:
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

And then extract to a location without spaces. Then execute:

ruby dk.rb init

follow the instructions on the screen and later:

ruby dk.rb install

That should place the DevKit into Ruby in the right locations.

It seems you already had DevKit installed, but you might have
relocated it or removed (I'm not sure about that, we don't know what
you had before)

So you can force installation of the newer DevKit by doing:

ruby dk.rb install --force

After that, please try to install the json gem:

gem install json

Let us know if that works.

Hi Luis Lavena,

 

Thanks for your reply. I had installed DevKit in sone other path. I installed it in Ruby's bin again and it worked!
