Receiving error on Windows machine when Installing linecache ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension on

Question

When attempting to perform a bundle install of an existing Ruby on Rails project I receive an error when the bundler reaches Installing linecache (0.43) with native extensions. I don't see linecache in the projects Gem file so I can't try bundling without it. I'm running Windows 7 and JetBrains RubyMine 2.0.2. I have tried bundling from inside RubyMine and from the command line (I realize these are equivalent).

I have the following Ruby and DevKit-3.4.5-20100819-1535-sfx directories in my path:

C:\Ruby187\bin
C:\DevKit-3.4.5-20100819-1535-sfx\bin
C:\DevKit-3.4.5-20100819-1535-sfx\mingw\bin

Below is the output from the bundle command:

Process finished with exit code 1

What am I missing that is causing this bundle to fail?

Answer 1

Looks like it may be because of the space in a ruby installation path "C:/Code Metrics/2nd/cmusv/autotest-growl/ruby/...":

Makefile:130: warning: overriding commands for target `C:/Code'

/bin/install: omitting directory `C:/Code'
make: *** [Metrics/2nd/cmusv/autotest-growl/ruby/1.8/gems/linecache-0.43/lib/trace_nums.so] Error 1

Is RubyMine configured to use a different ruby installation? Does your PATH system var have this path listed and at a higher precedence than your Ruby187 install?
