Help getting started

[TC R.]

Running windows 8. Uninstalled older version of rails and installed the
most recent version using railsinstaller. Also installed DevKit. When I
do a bundle install, however, I get the following:


c:\RubymineProjects\untitled>bundle install

Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.2'` succeeds before bundling.

Tried gem install json -v 1,8,2 as suggested as well, same error

Any ideas?

I get a basically identical error message.

[TC R.]

Tried just 'gem install json" as well. Still same error messages. Not
sure what to do since I get the same error messages when trying to
install/bundle. Anyone else seen anything similar?

I always recommend not using Windows for Rails, use Mac or Linux (eg
Ubuntu) instead. However since no-one seems able to help you I
googled for
size of array 'ruby_check_sizeof_voidp' is negative
which took me straight to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15537191/why-does-installing-ruby-on-rails-generate-error-size-of-array-ruby-check-size
which suggests you may have the wrong version of devkit installed.

It is always worth while googling for error messages.

Except  even the one you linked pointed out, they WERE using the appropriate version, no one answered there either. Having the same problem myself

Don't understand your comment, the link I posted
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15537191/why-does-installing-ruby-on-rails-generate-error-size-of-array-ruby-check-size)
is answered and the answer has been accepted by the OP as correct.

Colin is right about switching to Mac or Linux. If you really want to use Ruby & Rails, setup up a VM in VirtualBox. I use Linux Mint which is great for traditional Windows users. Be fearless and jump right in. Google Search is your friend.
