Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension - Aptana

Question

I am getting this error while doing bundle install. I checked that my RailsInstaller directory does not contain any spaces. Also the Devkit path I added in the path variable. I am not sure why am I getting this error.

Here is the error:

c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/ruby.exe: invalid switch in RUBYOPT: -S (RuntimeError)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue, this hasn't worked for me so far, but maybe it will help you:

Run the command gem install json --platform=ruby. That appears to install the gem, but it doesn't seem to affect bundler in any way.

Update:

I found out that bundle was installing into the vendor/bundle folder in the app itself, so I deleted the bundle file inside vendor. I also tried running bundle clean. After that I tried running bundle install --system (Note: I also deleted Gemfile.lock). That seemed to get rid of this error, but now I have a diffrent one with the eventmachine gem.
