Question

I followed all instructions in Octopress Documentation:

sddhrthrt@thinkpad:~/octopress$ rake generate
## Generating Site with Jekyll
directory source/stylesheets/ 
   create source/stylesheets/screen.css 
Configuration from /home/sddhrthrt/octopress/_config.yml

        from /usr/local/bin/jekyll:19:in `load'
        from /usr/local/bin/jekyll:19

And

sddhrthrt@thinkpad:~/octopress$ rake preview
Starting to watch source with Jekyll and Compass. Starting Rack on port 4000
rake aborted!
undefined method `spawn' for Process:Module

Tasks: TOP => preview
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

and

sddhrthrt@thinkpad:~/octopress$ rake watch
Starting to watch source with Jekyll and Compass.
rake aborted!
undefined method `spawn' for Process:Module

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I’ve never worked on Ruby, I admit. Hence i’m not very comfortable unscrambling the errors. Google search also didn’t yield anything I could comprehend.

EDIT:

So mentioned in the answers, I installed rbenv and then ruby 1.9.3-p327. I came back to ~/octopress and ran bundle install and it said all the gems were already installed (I had done that when I had ruby 1.8x). And now rake gives me this error:

sddhrthrt@thinkpad:~/octopress$ rake --trace

Should I reinstall using bundle all the gems? I cant understand.

Answer 1

Just try

$ rvm use 1.9.3

in your site’s root folder. Note, 1.9.3 is your Ruby version.

Then I think when you run

$ rake watch

or

$ rake preview

will work now.

EDIT:

So, for rbenv, try:

$ rbenv global 1.9.3-p327

or you can use local instead.
