Hi Tom,

This is saying rubygems cannot be installed on your local machine. Under the hood, concourse-up uses bosh create-env to bootstrap the BOSH director on AWS. This requires running a local copy of the bosh director (essentially, the bosh director for the bosh director), which means running some Ruby. To do that it first compiles and installs Ruby and the error is saying that this failed. Typically this is due to libraries such as libyaml, or tools such as gcc or make not being available on your local machine.

I would start by making sure you have the dependencies listed here for your OS installed and seeing if this fixes the issue:

Now I remember I am on a new machine :D

Thank you for the uber quick response - I did not even realize so much of that work was being done local.
