Missing Dependency: rdiscount

Question

I am trying to build a site using jekyll, I have install jekyll and as the next requirement I have also done sudo gem install rdiscount

Successfully installed rdiscount-2.1.7
Parsing documentation for rdiscount-2.1.7
Done installing documentation for rdiscount after 0 seconds
1 gem installed

but when I try to start the jekyll server I get the following error:

 $ [sudo] gem install rdiscount
  Conversion error: There was an error converting '_posts/1970-01-01-placeholder-post.md/#excerpt'.

             ERROR: YOUR SITE COULD NOT BE BUILT:
                    ------------------------------------
                    Missing dependency: rdiscount

Looks like it doesn't recognize the rdiscount, I am on a mac and use homebrew to do package management. I am not familiar with the ruby or rubygem language (Come from python background). What might be the issue here?

Answer 1

I got an answer from some blogs. You can try this:

$ gem install rdiscount

to install this package and try to build the server again.
