Bundle install: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. nio4r gem

Question

I'm currently working on a project using:

• rvm 1.26.11
• ruby 2.2.1p85

I tried to run bundle install but keep getting the following error:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

and, following:

An error occurred while installing nio4r (1.0.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install nio4r -v '1.0.0'` succeeds before bundling.

When I try running gem install nio4r -v '1.0.0':

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing nio4r:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

When I try running bundle update:

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Retrying git clone '[email protected]:kshmir/requirejs-rails.git' ....*

Git error: command `git clone '[email protected]:kshmir/requirejs-rails.git'....  has failed

When I try running bundle update nio4r:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension....
An error occurred while installing eventmachine (1.0.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install eventmachine -v '1.0.3'` succeeds before bundling.

I tried that command too, to no result.

I also tried changing Ruby version:

rvm use 2.2.1 2.2.0 2.0.0 and running the commands above, but it doesn't change anything

Edit:

The output from running bundle install log:

Gem files will remain installed in /home/adrian/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/nio4r-1.0.0 for inspection. Results logged to /home/adrian/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/nio4r-1.0.0/gem_make.out An error occurred while installing nio4r (1.0.0), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that `gem install nio4r -v '1.0.0'` succeeds before bundling.

Answer 1

If you are working on Mac OSX above version 10.11.x, the following approach worked for me:

gem install nio4r -v '1.1.0' -- with-cflags="-std=c99"

Answer 2

I solved it with:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get install libev-dev
rvm use 2.0.0
Reboot pc

If I run rails -v shows me:

• Rails 3.2.17

And now I can make Bundle install

I think the rails version was in conflict. I don't know why, maybe anyone can explain me.
