Bundle update fails on ffi

Question

I\'m attempting to do a bundle update on my rails application but I get the following error:

Installing ffi (1.0.11) with native extensions Unfo         


        

Answer 1

Mac OSx 10.10.2 yosemite

 CC=/usr/bin/i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 gem install ffi

and thats it -check that you have 4.2 compiler in /usr/bin that you can hook into

ls /usr/bin|grep gcc|grep 4.2

You do not have to wipe out all of your local gems or override symlinks to do this - its a waste of time and will likely create more problems then it solves.

please note, your bin path may be different if you needed to install via brew

brew install apple-gcc42
