Hi,
I am facing problem in installing the json 1.8.0 ruby gem due to which i
am unable to start my rails server.The error is shown below.


Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.0), and Bundler cannot

Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.0'` succeeds before bundling.

How can i solve this problem?...

Googlin for that string led me to [1] which I think basically says
that json 1.8.0 is not compatible with ruby 2.2. I think the solution
is to use a later version of json or an earlier version of ruby.

Not to be "that guy" but ALWAYS google your errors...If the whole error
doesn't work...try taking out everything unnncessary...such as paths...
