Error Installing Jekyll with Native Mavericks Ruby

[jennazee]

Had native Mavericks ruby, and updated gems, and XCode Command LIne tools. Ran into this error:

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Was able to solve the problem with the guidance of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22479246/how-to-install-jekyll-on-mac-osx-10-9-with-ruby-2-0-0, which suggested installing rvm and then doing rvm use ruby-2.1.1 and then sudo gem install jekyll

Figured other people could benefit from the rvm/version suggestion. Cheers!

Thank you @jennazee, It will be very useful!

Note, if you're using rvm there's never a reason to install gems using sudo. Please don't do that, it'll only cause problems.

Oh okay, noted. Without rvm it seemed I didn't have permissions so I figured I needed to use it. Any problems I should look out for for this case?

Without RVM, ruby is installed into the system locations and so it needs sudo access. RVM installs ruby into your home folder, ~/.rvm, so you don't need any special sort of access ever. One of the many benefits of RVM. ​
