When trying to install this gem, I receive the following:

Temporarily enhancing path to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing json:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/json-1.8.3 for inspection.

Results logged to C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x64-mingw32/2.2.0/json-1.8.3/gem_make.out

The gem_make.out file is not in that folder. This is the last gem I need to install. What do I need to do to resolve this?

  • This SO answer suggests trying `gem install --verbose json -v 1.8.3`: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31498908/error-installing-json-on-windows-8-1. And FWIW, http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ states that "64-bit versions of Ruby are relatively new on the Windows area and not all the packages have been updated to be compatible with it. To use this version you will require some knowledge about compilers and solving dependency issues, which might be too complicated if you just want to play with the language." – orde Nov 04 '16 at 00:29
  • Thank you so much! I'll give it a try. I actually do need this for work, not just for playing. I may end up using my personal computer to do it, as it's on OSX. – Claire Lundeby Nov 04 '16 at 16:12
  • orde, fortunately, this did work for me. Of course, now I've run into another issue, but so it goes. Thank you! – Claire Lundeby Nov 04 '16 at 16:57
  • Nice that you got it worked out. Worst comes to worst, post a new question for next issue that you run into :) – orde Nov 04 '16 at 17:51
