Compass installation under rbenv

Question

I thought I had Compass installed OK using rbenv on my Mac, but I got an error when trying to switch Codekit to use it instead of its internal compiler.

Running compass -v in the terminal gives me:

/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p392/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:110:in `require': cannot load such file -- sass/script/node (LoadError)

from /.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p392/bin/compass:23:in `<main>'

So, it would seem there's a problem there, although running gem install compass tells me that compass-0.12.2 was successfully installed.

How do I go about working out what the problem is and fixing it?

The error message says that SASS can't be located. What does `gem list sass` show? — the Tin Man, Jun 29 '13 at 04:09
Yep, that's the same issue as mine and it's fixed now, thanks. :) — Tyssen, Jun 29 '13 at 04:13

Try this version,

http://rubygems.org/gems/sass/versions/3.3.0.alpha.149

gem install sass -v 3.3.0.alpha.149 --pre

Bear in mind that the command above installs the gem, it doesn't activate the version!

You can run the following:

gem uninstall sass

You'll be prompted with a list of installed versions; merely uninstall the ones that are 3.3.0.alpha.X where X is higher then 149.

You can test it works via:

sass --version
compass --version

You should see normal pages (instead of the errors in your question).

ps.

You may need this too:

gem install compass-sourcemaps -v 0.12.2.sourcemaps.57a186c --pre

In my case, it was an incompatibility between compass and sass. It was "sass-3.3.0.rc.2" installed automatically via compass dependencies.

So I had to remove sass version gem uninstall sass and install another version gem install sass -v 3.2.12

After that, the errors disappeared.

There's an issue with some imports in one script within compass. An easy fix, but for now you can add this to your Gemfile (works for me right now):

gem "compass", github: 'ovaskevich/compass'
