Error installing sys-proctable

[mattangriffel]

Updated my Rails project's Gemfile today and Bundler is failing due to the new sys-proctable dependency:

Installing sys-proctable (0.9.2) with native extensions

gem install sys-proctable -v '0.9.2' works?

[mattangriffel]

Nope. Same error.

[rymai]

Have you tried

rvm get head
rvm --force install 1.9.3
gem install bundler
bundle install

?

[mattangriffel]

Just tried those steps. Same error.

[rymai]

Then, as stated in the error message, be sure to install development tools first.

[mattangriffel]

They're installed. Even reinstalled Xcode and installed the command line tools.

[meredrica]

the sys proctable isn't needed anymore now

[thibaudgg]

Give a try to #86, thanks
