From Jekyll 3, the suggested way to run Jekyll is through the Bundler (http://bundler.io/). This solves a lot of Gem-related headaches and versioning issues. Rather than running with jekyll build, try the following commands from http://jekyllrb.com/:

Install your dependencies (only necessary initially or after you add a plugin):

bundle install

Run jekyll with those dependencies:

bundle exec jekyll serve

I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but it'd be a good start.
