I have recently tried to install rails via gem by running gem install rails. However, it always fails with the following error message.

Does anyone know what is actually happening here? I would appreciate any answer. Thanks
Usually, this "multiple target patterns" error when compile gem extensions is caused by spaces in directory names where you have installed your Ruby or your gems.
Especially on Windows, you should install your Ruby to a directory which contains no spaces, rather than your current location D:/Program Files/Ruby30-x64. To fix this, I recommend to uninstall Ruby and install it again to a more appropriate location.

Please help me to get rid of this error.
have you followed any Youtube tutorials if yes, then yeah you are not alone I have also screwed up and don't have any solutions yet but I think reinstalling from the beginning from your own not from the tutorials, you may succeed.
If I succeed then I would tell ya!

I have no idea about that error. How to resolve that?
Old question, but might be still be relevant for people arriving through search. I installed the latest Ruby + devkit from https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/, and it worked (Windows 10)
I just downloaded ruby 2.6.5 and as well as sqlite3. I followed the tutorial to install rails and typed "gem install rails" in the command prompt but ran into this error. I have no idea what these things are and have been stuck here for quite a long time. Could someone give me some advice on this please? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I am using Rails 4. Bundle was working up until yesterday, when I had to reinstall Bundler because of a different error. Now, when I run "bundle install", a few gems are successfully installed and then I receive this error message:

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.2'` succeeds before bundling.
I then try to 'gem install json -v '1.8.2' and get this error message:

I have no idea how to fix this. I have tried several solutions including:
-"rvm implode"
-"sudo gem update --system"
-"sudo gem update --system --no-user-install"
-"sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems"
-"xcode-select --install"
-running Disk Repair
I read a few things about making changes to the path and bash profile, but I am unclear on how to do that.
Thank you in advance! Already spent 2 hours trying to solve this.
Answered in this stack question : Insecure world writable dir /Users/username in PATH, mode 040777 when running Ruby commands
Your home folder should only be writable by you, not by anyone else. The reason gem is complaining about this is that you have folders in your PATH that are inside your (insecure) home folder, and that means that anyone who wants to could hack you by renaming/moving your .rvm folder and replacing it with an impostor.
To fix your home folder, run chmod go-w /Users/kristoffer. If there are any other insecure folders on the way to anything in your PATH, you should fix them similarly.
BTW, the reason that Disk Utility didn't repair this is that it only repairs files installed as part of the OS (see Apple's KB article on the subject). There is an option to repair home folder permissions if you boot from the install DVD and run Password Reset from the Utilities menu, but I'm not sure if it resets the permissions themselves or just ownership.
Update
Installing a new version of Ruby seemed to work. Previously I was using 2.0.0, and now I upgraded to 2.2.2. This seems to have made the issue go away.
Can anybody please help me to resolve this error.Actually i am trying to install ruby-1.9.3 and rails-4 in windows-XP 32 bit.When i followed the below steps and got some error.
Steps:
1-I installed ruby version-1.9.3
2-I installed the proper devkit and gave path(C:\Ruby193\devkit) to extract it.
3-I typed gem update --system in CMD.
4-When i typed the command gem install rails in cmd it gave some error.
