Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension Bcrypt-Ruby

Question

I am making a rails app and just upgraded to Yosemite, and I think everything broke during that update. Everything was working last night when I checked in all my code to github. I updated my computer last night to Yosemite. Today I ran gem install bcrypt-ruby and everything broke. I have;

1. ran xcodebuild -license
2. updated bundler
3. ran brew install rbenv ruby-build rbenv-gem-rehash to get the latest ruby
4. ran brew install coreutils

That did not work though.

environment: OSX Yosemite 10.10, rbenv 0.4.0, ruby 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19 revision 47630) [x86_64-darwin14.0], brew 0.9.5`

The source of the error is from my rails app:

gemfile

gem 'rails', '4.1.5'
gem 'pg' 
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'
gem 'sdoc', '~> 0.4.0',          group: :doc
gem 'spring',        group: :development
gem 'bcrypt-ruby'

group :test, :development do
  gem 'rspec-rails', "~> 2.14"
end
group :test do
  gem 'capybara', "2.1.0"
  gem 'factory_girl_rails', '~> 4.2.1'
end

I got the error when I ran bundle install. Here is the full stack trace (all the /users// is from taking out the name ;)

Gem files will remain installed in /Users//ticket_tracker/vendor/bundle/gems/bcrypt-3.1.9 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users//ticket_tracker/vendor/bundle/extensions/x86_64-darwin-12/2.0.0-static/bcrypt-3.1.9/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing bcrypt (3.1.9), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install bcrypt -v '3.1.9'` succeeds before bundling.

If anyone has had some experience updated OSX, Rbenv, Ruby etc and can give me some pointers, that would be much appreciated. I can also post more code/environment set up if needed.

Solution 1

I had the same problem which I solved by re-installing the XCode command line developer tools :

xcode-select --install
bundle install

Solution 2

Only a combination of actions helped me to solve the issue. Here is my sequence

1)

xcode-select --install
bundle install

2)

brew update
brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build

3) Switched from ruby 2.1.4 to 2.1.5

rbenv install 2.1.5   
rbenv global 2.1.5
rbenv shell 2.1.5
rbenv rehash
gem install bundler
bundle

4) (optional) in case you had issue with installing nokogiri

brew install libxml2
bundle config build.nokogiri "--use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2"
bundle

For some reason that's what I thought I solved with xcode -license. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Tom Harrison]

It seems like every new install or update of xcode requires reinstall of command line tools.

[gorlaz]

Slightly different take, I had the same error, tried xcodebuild -license and got an error saying needing to use sudo, so 'sudo xcodebuild -license' and it worked. I'm still on Mavericks but have got Yosemite downloaded to install, so not sure if that's impacting things.

Getting a popup that says Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.. Any idea if thats a temporary thing?

[Jai Chauhan]

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and same issue come to me? please help.

[ShadSterling]

Please don't install both homebrew and macports. You will run in to some bizarre conflict and it will be a nightmare to resolve.
