I'm trying to install Twitter-Bootstrap-Rails gem on Mac OSX Lion. I added the twitter-bootsrap line to my Gemfile, but when I run bundle install, it's failing due to an issue with therubyracer gem. 

....rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p318/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:368:in `try_do': The complier failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.

I already have developer tools running, and XCode 4.3.2. I'm running Rails 3.2 and Ruby 1.9.2p318.

Any idea why the compiler might be failing for this gem install or how I can fix?

  • Probably this [answer][1] will work for you [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9421410/telling-bundler-to-exclude-certain-gems-from-a-particular-gems-installation/9422630#9422630 – rogeliog May 17 '12 at 23:10
  • Do you have the Xcode command line tools installed? That error message usually includes a reference to a log file that would probably be useful. – Andrew Marshall May 18 '12 at 01:25
  • @Andrew Marshall I do have Xcode command line tools installed - I even re-installed but no luck. – william tell May 18 '12 at 22:31
  • Is there any way to tell which compiler it may be using? GCC or LLVM etc? from your stack trace? http://wellconsidered.be/post/18996655760/therubyracer-compile-error-osx-10-7-lion – Kashyap Jul 17 '12 at 06:03

gem install therubyracer

gem 'therubyracer'
