Question

On OS X Lion when trying to start the rails server I get the error

Could not find json-1.5.4 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

If I then run

bundle install json

I get the following errors

Installing json (1.5.4) with native extensions /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:556:in `build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

I’ve seen the answer at nokogiri – ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension but I have Xcode 4.3.2 running.

Any ideas? Thanks

For OS 10.7 + XCode4.3 only open Xcode preferences, select the
“Downloads” button, select the “Components” tab of Downloads, highlight
“Command Line Tools” and press the install button.
