Question

I ran

bundle install

and it completed without error, except that at the very last line, it printed:

Your bundle is complete! It was installed into ./linecache

There’s no mention of linecache in the Gemfile. I even tried the extreme measure of deleting my Gemfile.lock and calling bundle install again. Same result.

What’s going on?

Answer 1

Figured it out. I had previously typed:

bundle install linecache

(that’s another story). bundle will remember linecache and use that as a directory for subsequent bundles. The easiest (albeit heavy handed) fix is to delete the .bundle configuration file from your toplevel Rails project directory:

rm .bundle/config

… and let bundle recreate it the next time you run bundle install. Slightly cleaner is to edit your_project_directory/.bundle/config and delete the line that reads:

BUNDLE_PATH: ...

Hope this saves someone else some head-scratching.
