Answer 1

Eventmachine 1.0.3 isn't compatible with Ruby 2.2+, try to upgrade to newer versions.

Reading CHANGELOG: You should upgrade, at least, to 1.0.4: https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#104-december-19-2014

fix build on ruby 2.2 [#503]

Answer 2

If you are using eventmachine and ruby version >= 2.2

Please update eventmachine in Gemfile to 1.0.4

in Gemfile

gem `eventmachine', '~>1.0.4'
