Error Installing Byebug w/ Ruby 2.1.5 64bits & DevKit 64bits, Win7 64

[amalbuquerque]

I've followed the installation instructions, on a Win7 64 Pro machine:

• Installed Ruby with: rubyinstaller-2.1.5-x64.exe
• Installed the DevKit with: DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe

I was able to install the json gem with gem install json --platform=ruby:

>gem list

I've double-checked and I'm pretty sure I have the correct versions of Ruby and the DevKit.

TIA

[amalbuquerque]

I've removed the DevKit and forced the installation of the DevKit with --force on both steps, and I was finally able to install it.

[deivid-rodriguez]

Happy you got that sorted out! :)

[g3aristi]

Wait I'm having the same problem but what do you mean by removed DevKit??? like uninstall it??

[deivid-rodriguez]

@lejboua I think he means uninstall, yes. @g3aristi?

[zahidzia]

reinstalling Dev Kit didn't help for me... I think the problem is somewhere else

[amalbuquerque]

Yup, I've uninstalled it and forced its installation afterwards.

how do I, uninstall the DevKit and force install it again, please help with the command

[APohio]

I misread lejboua's comment and just used --force on the init and install commands without uninstalling and it works a charm now. Hope this helps someone.
