Error install rubyracer with error “invalid gem: package is corrupt”

Question

When trying to install therubyracer on OSX 10.9, with the command:

$ gem install therubyracer -v \'0.12.0\'

I get the error:

Answer 1

Delete /Users/doved/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/cache/therubyracer-0.12.0.gem and install the gem again. RubyGems didn't download the file properly, and the system is properly reporting that the gem is corrupted.

Answer 2

I had the following issue :

Bundler::GemspecError: Could not read gem at /home/username/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/cache/nokogiri-1.6.6.3.gem. It may be corrupted.

Then to fix this I had to go to the following directory : /home/username/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/cache

Then I removed the corrupted gem, i.e Nakogiri in my case.

Then I ran the following command : gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.6.3'

After installing the gem again, I was good to go.
