In order to run jekyll --server
I've had to downgrade to ruby 1.9.3p286 as there seems to be a bug for Jekyll on ruby 1.9.3p327

running jekyll --server on ruby 1.9.3p327 throws this error

You may have encountered a bug in the Ruby interpreter or extension libraries.

Not sure if it's related, but last time I got jekyll up and running I found using sudo helped.

sudo gem install jekyll

and also needed rdiscount, so did:

sudo gem install rdiscount

then:

sudo jekyll --server

and the bugs / warnings I had went away.

What Ruby version manager are you using? What OS? It could have been an error during the compilation process of your ruby that Jekyll requires.

OSX v10.8.2

Currently Ruby version manager rvm 1.17.2 (stable) by Wayne E. Seguin <wayneeseguin@gmail.com>, Michal Papis <mpapis@gmail.com> [https://rvm.io/]

Had to run rvm use 1.9.3-p286 once again today after the same error once again from jekyll --server

Yeah, ML is a b*tch when it comes to installing Rubies. Try uninstalling and re-installing p327 and let me know whether you're still hitting the same problem.

I installed 1.9.3-p327 (rbenv 0.4.0 (w/ ruby-build), ML 10.8.2) and couldn't duplicate this. The evidence seems to point to a problem with your system & installation of ruby, rather than Jekyll.

@simonowendesign Thanks sudo did the trick.

Glad you got it sorted out :)

sudo jekyll server works for me
