Error installing gem

[exalted]

I’ve got...

cat ~/.rbenv/default-gems 
bundler

… and when I do…

rbenv install 1.9.3-p392 

… I get:

rbenv: error installing gem `bundler’

… that’s because (probably)…

rbenv version
system (set by /Users/exalted/.rbenv/version)

… but then how rbenv-default-gems ought to work?

Strange… for me it picks the fresh rbenv-installed ruby. I don't remember what exactly I was getting, but this could be related to #3, e.g rbenv uses the system gem instead of the one from the ruby you just built…

[exalted]

@cdlm what would be a possible workaround?

[cdlm]

applying my patch from #3 by hand, and nagging @sstephenson to merge it :)

@sstephenson 🙏

Ran into this on a fresh install yesterday. Embarrassing!

This isn’t available with brew yet?

@sstephenson could you please tag a v1.0.1 release containing this fix? That would enable the homebrew recipe to be updated.
