Used rails to generate new project.

Added twitter-bootstrap-rails to Gemfile

    source 'https://rubygems.org'

Did a bundle install, all went well.

Then I did

    $ rails g bootstrap:install

Still all is good.

Next, did this:

    $ rails g bootstrap:layout application fixed

still good.

Then I did this:

    $ rails g bootstrap:themed Posts

and got this:

I have rolled back to twitter-bootstrap-rails 2.1.5 and 2.1.4 to no avail.

Please advise.

You need to create the Post scaffold first. From https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/blob/master/README.md:

rails g scaffold Post title:string description:text
