Question

There’s a two year old blog post here explaining how to fix the error ‘you ‘have to install development tools first’ error that comes with Nokogiri, a problem that arises if you upgrade to Mountain Lion after having installed RVM. In the blog post he says you have to do

rvm update head
rvm --force install 1.9.2
gem install bundle

## in your rails app
bundle
Installing nokogiri (1.4.2) with native extensions
 ...

rvm update head has now changed to rvm get head. However, after that I blindly did

rvm --force install 1.9.2

and got this error message

rvm --force install 1.9.2
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

In other words, it directed me back to the same blog post.

Looking at RVM website, I blindly did

rvm install 1.9.2

I got this error

ruby-1.9.2-p320 is not installed.
To install do: ‘rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p320’

Following its instructions, I did rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p320 and got the same binaries error

Can anyone provide some guidance

Answer 1

you need to run:

rvm get head
rvm autolibs enable
rvm use --install 1.9.2
bundle install
