Rails broken - bundle not working - ovirt-engine-sdk - ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. Cloud9 AWS

Question

I am working through the Ruby on Rails Tutorial (Rails5) by Michael Hartl in the AWS Cloud9 environment. I'm finishing chapter 11 now. (new to programming as well)

It appears I have broken something related to the Rails (or Ruby) system. I am no longer able to start the Rails server, test or console.

The error message I get usually starts with this, which I have not had any luck finding much information on here or via Google. ovirt-engine-sdk -v '4.2.3'

/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.1/gems/bundler-1.16.1/lib/bundler/spec_set.rb:88:in `block in materialize': Could not find ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.3 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)

Trying bundle install or bundle update I get outputs like this:

The dependency tzinfo-data (>= 0) will be unused by any of the platforms Bundler is installing for. Bundler is installing for ruby but the dependency is only for x86-mingw32, x86-mswin32, x64-mingw32, java. To add those platforms to the bundle, run `bundle lock --add-platform x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32 x64-mingw32 java`.

An error occurred while installing ovirt-engine-sdk (4.2.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install ovirt-engine-sdk -v '4.2.3'` succeeds before bundling.

"pkg-config --exists libcurl"

So I'm stuck.. I can't get the ovirt-engine-sdk-4.23 to install at this point.

Thanks in advance for any help. Please let me know if there are any other files or information you need to assist.

Answer 1

For ubuntu users:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev

Edit:

For fedora users:(mine is Fedora 32)

sudo dnf install libcurl libcurl-devel

If libcurl is already there, just:

sudo dnf install libcurl-devel

Installation can be checked with:

dnf list installed libcurl and dnf list installed libcurl-devel

Answer 2

You can easy solve this on linux/debian or ubuntu by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

You should be fine.

Answer 3

If you are using an Ubuntu system then use the following command:

sudo apt-get --assume-yes install gcc libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev ruby ruby-dev

then run

bundle install

Answer 4

So I was able to fix this by:

1. Installing libcurl developer version:

   sudo yum install libcurl libcurl-devel

Once that was complete I ran bundle update which now made it further in the install - to fail at this point Installing pg 0.20.0 with native extensions Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

2. Running sudo yum install postgresql-devel resolved the pg 0.20.0 issue and I am now able to complete the bundle update and rails seems to be working again.

3. Rails server had an issue booting after all of this. This command got it working again: bin/rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development

After that the environment and rails all seems to be working fine again.
