Eventmachine gem install fail

Question

I am not able to install eventmachine

Ok I know this has been asked quite a lot, but no solutions I found has helped me so far.So I posted here as a last resort.

Answer 1

I got an error as below

---

C:\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\eventmachine-1.0.3>gem build eventmachine.gemspec Invalid gemspec in [eventmachine.gemspec]: No such file or directory - git ls-files

ERROR: Error loading gemspec. Aborting.

However, I kept the project.h opened in textpad and tried to do gem install eventmachine. At one point, textpad will ask a confirmation to reload project.h as the new file is fetched from gem install command.. just give reload and comment the line //typedef int pid_t;.. Then the compilation went through..

basically, it takes a while to start the compilation after fetching the gem project files. Just use that time to comment htis line.. It worked for me.. may not work for everyone.

Cheers!
