I'm new to Ruby. Having issue while tried to do bundle install. Tried to download json-1.6.6 to and installed from my local but no luck. Previous was working fine until I installed ANSICON1.5.1. Not sure if this was the cause?

This is a problem with the json gem. There's a way to solve that problem posted over on StackOverflow.

I tried to install with --platform=ruby but still failed with "..cannot find the path specified."

Please read the answer again. It says to install the Rails dev toolkit. Try that please.

[shuih]

Yes, I had DevKit installed already.

[radar]

Ok then, I don't know what the problem is and cannot help you sorry.

[shuih]

Since my issue hasn't be solved yet, can you reopen this issue, please

[radar]

No. As I said in the beginning, this has absolutely nothing to do with Bundler and everything to do with the json gem. Because this is not a Bundler issue, there is nothing for the Bundler team to do here.

If you attempted a manual gem install json yourself you would still have the same problem.
