Installing unf_ext 0.0.7.2 not working - ruby-on-rails

So when I try running bundle install --without production it tells me that I am getting an error and that I need to Make sure that gem install unf_ext -v 0.0.7.2 succeeds before bundling. I have not gotten this error before while installing other gems, but only when I try and install gem stripe(which is used for receiving user payments and such).
Could someone explain what could be causing this kind of problem. All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Aaron
EDIT
What I did to solve my problems was updating all of my gems to their current and latest version. Then when I ran bundle install --without production everything seemed to install perfectly fine after that.

This error can come across due to various reasons, so it's not easy to tell what might have really caused, preventing you from bundle install, so try the following fixes, if not worked please give more details on errors that appears :)
If the error was because of missing gmkdir, then run the following command:
brew install coreutils
If the error was due to missing C++ headers related then run the bellow command:
yum install gcc-c++
Also have a look at the developer's home page given below to check you meet all dependencies required:
unf_ext 0.0.7.2 : Unicode Normalization Form support library for CRuby

After updating to Mojave MacOS version, the ruby 'lost' the reference.
To solve
$ rvm list
In my case, the version listed was:
ruby-2.5.1 [ x86_64 ]
$ rvm use ruby-2.5.1
to change to 'current' version used
$ rvm list again
to see the current version
=> ruby-2.5.1 [ x86_64 ]
After that everything are okay running bundle install or bundle update or gem install or gem update

I just have the same problem when i try to install vagrant plugin, you need to install ruby-devel before.
Hope this help you.

I ran into this deploying to a remote box. As suggested in comments, I was able to fix it by opening a console session on the affected box and running:
gem update rails
gem install unf_ext -v '0.0.7.2'
And I was then able to deploy successfully.

I resolved this issue by upgrading bundler. Simply run:
gem install bundler
which fetches the latest bundler. Then, try running:
bundle install

I got same problem. It happens after I upgrading my macOS to newer version.
Somehows, upgrading mess up /usr/local/include. So that I removed it and run install. It worked
sudo mv /usr/local/include/ /usr/local/include.delete_me

Similar to the comment of Luke, xcode-select did the job for me. But instead of switching it to a different location, I just reverted the selected version to default, although I cannot remember to ever have changed it.
sudo xcode-select -r
After that bundle install and bundle update worked fine for me again.

I was having the exact same issue trying to install this specific gem and version as well. Turns out my VPS would run out of RAM while compiling and quit. I just killed off a few processes I could live without for a few minutes and it worked...

I solved this issue by running
sudo xcodebuild -license

I was working with docker and docker compose. similar issue arised to me. I deleted the image, removed all associated containers with the application and rebuilt the image with docker build . created the container with docker-compose up inside the working directory and it started working. this solution is specific to those using docker and docker-compose. Hope it helps someone. I am still not sure about the reason why is this happening.

this can be solved installing ruby-dev
and then gem install unf_ext -v 0.0.7.2

I ran into this issue getting
Installing unf_ext 0.0.8 with native extensions

After trying many of these listed, using rvm I uninstalled and reinstalled my ruby-3.0.0 and tried bundling again and this time it worked. Did not see a solution like that here so I thought I'd share.

An error occurred while installing pg (1.2.3), and Bundler cannot continue

I've seen this a million times, but my usual fixes and stackoverflow suggestions aren't working this time.
When I run bundle install, it fails at pg:
An error occurred while installing pg (1.2.3), and Bundler cannot
continue.
In the past, I've solved this by first running gem install bundler before running bundle install again. This time, no luck. Any suggestions?
Of course, the moment I post this I find a fix on another stackoverflow question.
This did the trick:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/pg_config
It's worth mentioning that you need to have Postgres installed on whatever machine you're trying to install the gem on for the gem to be installed.
It might be obvious to some, but not to others.
to verify that the actual problem is missing Postgres on the machine, the error should be somewhat similar to this:
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.
face the same issue and I've solved this by first installing brew install postgresql and running bundle install again
You're missing a couple of necessary system libraries. To install:
sudo apt install postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

Cannot install cocoa pods after uninstalling, results in error

I removed cocoa pods because it claimed it had installed, but kept saying the command pod wasn't found afterward. When trying to reinstall cocoapods (sudo gem install cocoa pods -v) I get this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/pod
Any ideas?
As it has been pointed out below by Ramesh Ramchandaran, this is a cleaner way of doing it, instead of getting around the Security features of OS X.
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
Original Answer
I'm assuming you're running OS X 10.11.
This is happening because Apple has enabled rootless on the new install.
If you type:
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"; sudo reboot
in terminal.app, your computer will reboot with it disabled.
Once that is done, type:
sudo gem install cocoapods -V
the -V is for verbose and will spit out any errors if they happen.
As rootless does not affect /usr/local/bin, the following succeeds:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
Any caveats?
Using home-brew or custom $GEM_HOME can help resolving the issue.
I did clean installation of ruby with brew:
brew install ruby
Now the gem stuff seem to happen relative to my /usr/local/bin*, which is exactly what I needed.
I recommend installing all your gems into your .gem folder in your home folder to avoid using sudo or a ruby version manager as other people suggest.
All you have to do is update your .bash_profile by adding these 2 lines. (Don‘t forget to restart your terminal after applying these changes)
export GEM_HOME=~/.gem
export PATH="$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH"
After updgrading from Yosemite to El Capitan ( 10.11.4), I kept getting the below error message while trying to 'reinstall' Cocoapods ( after trying out pretty much all the solutions under different Stackoverflow threads and the Cocoapods issue-page itself, for the same issue)
"Could not find a valid gem 'cocoapods' (>= 0) in any repository"
However, quit terminal, restarted system, created new Xcode project from the scratch and then when i did 'pod install', it worked.
Note: I was trying to use Alamofire and SwiftyJson cocoapods

Why won't bundler install JSON gem?

I get the following error when attempting to run cap production deploy.
DEBUG [dc362284] Bundler::GemNotFound: Could not find json-1.8.1.gem for installation
DEBUG [dc362284] An error occurred while installing json (1.8.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
DEBUG [dc362284] Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.1'` succeeds before bundling.
It may be important to note that this deployment was working, than I upgraded to Ruby 2.1.0 to remove an encoding error. I upgraded locally which worked fine. I ran rvm install 2.1.0 and rvm use 2.1.0 then changed my .ruby-version file to reflect this Ruby upgrade.
The bundle install command works locally, but produces the same above error when I ssh onto the destination server and run this command.
If I run gem list I can see this in the list of gems.
...
jquery-rails (3.0.4)
json (1.8.1)
less (2.3.2)
...
If I try the recommended solution gem install json -v '1.8.1' Locally and on the destination server I get the following output:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed json-1.8.1
Parsing documentation for json-1.8.1
Done installing documentation for json after 0 seconds
1 gem installed
So it appears the gem is installed, right? Why is this happening? How can I solve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
$ bundle update json
$ bundle install
So after a half day on this and almost immediately after posting my question I found the answer. Bundler 1.5.0 has a bug where it doesn't recognize default gems as referenced here
The solution was to update to bundler 1.5.1 using gem install bundler -v '= 1.5.1'
Run this command then everything will be ok
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
if you are in MacOS Sierra and your ruby version is 2.4.0.The ruby version is not compatible with json 1.8.3.
You can try add this line in your Gemfile:
gem 'json', github: 'flori/json', branch: 'v1.8'
This works for me!
To solve this problem, simply run:
bundle update
It will update the version of your bundler. Then run:
bundle install
Your problem will get solve. Solution is well explained here.
I found the solution here. There is a problem with json version 1.8.1 and ruby 2.2.3, so install json 1.8.3 version.
gem install json -v1.8.3
You should try
$ sudo gem install json -v '1.8.2'
in my case (Ubuntu 14.04) that didn't work directly and I had to do this:
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
and then I could install the gem and continue. Had one more problem that was fixed by:
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
Hoping helps.
If the recommended answer didn't help because you are already using a newer version of bundler. Try the solution that worked for me.
Delete everything inside your vendor folder.
Add a line to your gemfile
gem 'json', '1.8.0'
Then run - bundle update json.
It seems to be an issue with 1.8.1 so going back to 1.8.0 did the trick for me.
I ran into this error while trying to get a project to run on my local dev box (OSX 10.6), using Sinatra and Postgresql (through activerecord), running on an rvm'd ruby 2.1. I found my answer here: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2511
My exact problem (after the first block of log entries):
I also get an error when trying to build native extensions for gems
The answer:
rvm reinstall 2.1.0 --disable-binary
The explanation:
OSX does not have a package manager so all libraries have to be installed manually by user, this makes it virtually impossible to link the binary dynamically, and as you can see there are problems with the (pseudo)statically linked binary.
For the sake of completeness, I had first forgotten to update rvm (rvm get head), which yielded some other errors, but still needed the --disable-binary flag once I had done so.
bundle update json. Helped to get through.
When I tried to install the json gem using gem install json separate from just using bundle install I got ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension., looking that up I found using
apt-get install ruby-dev
did the trick
For OS X make sure you have coreutils
$ brew install coreutils
$ bundle
This appears to be a bug in Bundler not recognizing the default gems installed along with ruby 2.x. I still experienced the problem even with the latest version of bundler (1.5.3).
One solution is to simply delete json-1.8.1.gemspec from the default gemspec directory.
rm ~/.rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/specifications/default/json-1.8.1.gemspec
After doing this, bundler should have no problem locating the gem. Note that I am using chruby. If you're using some other ruby manager, you'll have to update your path accordingly.
I was missing C headers solution was to download it for Xcode, this is the best way.
xcode-select --install
Hope it helps.
Bundle was failing to install json -v '1.8.1' and deleting my Gemfile.lock and running bundle again solved this issue for me.
I installed the latest version of json:
gem install json
Then deleted the line json(1.8.1) from the Gemfile.lock and did a
bundle install
And then the Gemfile.lock file uses json(1.8.3) without erros
Switch ruby version from 1.9 to 2.2 with rvm did the job for me
For me, some of the answers mentioned earlier were helpful from understanding point of view, but those didn't solve my problem.
So this is what I did to solve issue.
Modified gemfile.lock to update json (2.0.2) (Earlier, it was 1.8.3)
Check the Bundler version installed (Bundler -v command). I had version 1.12.5 installed
Install bundler version 1.11.2 (using gem install bundler -v '1.11.2')
Then run bundle install
For macOS Sierra:
I ran into this error When i used bundler(v1.15.3) in Rails(v4.2) project.
The solution for me is gem uninstall bundler -v '1.15.3' and gem install bundler -v '1.14.6'.

Installing pg gem; ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

After updating to OS X 10.9 Mavericks I tried to start a Rails 3 app, but the connection to the PG database was not working. Checking on PGAdmin III, the database is still there and it works fine.
So I tried to reinstall the pg gem:
gem uninstall pg
gem install pg
But the last command doesn't succeed, and gives the following error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error

I guess the problem is related to the Xcode developer tools. I updated Xcode to the latest version, but that didn't solve the problem. Do you know how to fix it?
You're right that the problem is related to the Xcode developer tools. It's not a bad idea to make sure you have all the developer tools installed (as opposed to solely installing gcc as mentioned in the previous answer):
Open up Xcode
In the application menu item "Xcode" select Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools...
This takes you to a site with a bunch of software. Go ahead and download and install "Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - Late October 2013".
You will now be able to properly install the gem.
For anyone else coming to this issue off of a fresh install of the Postgres 9.3.0 app on Mac OS X Mavericks (i.e. you're not using homebrew for your Postgres installation) you may notice that even though you can build the pg gem you cannot run rake because of a dylib issue:
rake aborted!
dlopen(/Users/[USERNAME]/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1/lib/pg_ext.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: #loader_path/../lib/libpq.5.dylib

Reason: image not found - /Users/[USERNAME]/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1/lib/pg_ext.bundle
Unfortunately this is a problem with the current release version of 9.3.0 of Postgres. Winding back to a previous version will fix it for you:
uninstall the pg gem: gem uninstall pg
delete your 9.3.0 Postgres app by dragging it to the trash and emptying the trash
install version 9.2.2.0 of the Postgres app here: http://postgres-app.s3.amazonaws.com/PostgresApp-9-2-2-0.zip
reinstall the pg gem: gem install pg
*Thanks to the comment by jhiro009 on this thread for pointing me in the right direction on this last Postgres app part of the issue although the 9.2.4.3 version that he mentioned didn't work for me.
Using homebrew fixed this for me:
gem uninstall pg
brew install apple-gcc42
gem install pg
EDIT: I also manually installed "devtools"
xcode-select --install
On OS X Mavericks
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
gem uninstall pg; gem install pg;
works with homebrew Postgresql (9.3.1) installation and Apple Command Line Tools installed (pg 0.17.0).
None of the previous solutions worked for me (I just upgraded to Mavericks and updated XCode). Instead, I installed Postgress.app. and called
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config
None of the solutions worked for me, and I didn't want to use MacPorts. Try and download the Postgres App and put it into the Application directory.
Then, specify the location of newly downloaded pg_config, which resides inside the app:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config
If you run in to missing headers problem, try specifying the include directory of the app:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-include='/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/include/'
If you are looking for just a quick fix, add the following to your database.yml file:
host: localhost
I had the exact problem, added that line, and now all is well.
I had luck following this post from the guys at New-Bamboo:
3 Quick Tips for Coding with OS X 10.9 Mavericks
After installing the xcode dev tools, the third step sorted everything out:
brew tap homebrew/versions && brew install apple-gcc42
brew link --force apple-gcc42
ln -nsf $(which gcc-4.2) /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
I had this problem the first time I tried to install pg. Through various trials and errors I found something that worked. Thankfully, my notes also worked when Mavericks broke everything.
Hope this helps:
Do not do any brewing.
download the enterpriseDB one-click installer, mount and run.
If it doesn't work, run it through the command line (unattended mode) and it will change the memory settings. Restart, run again.
Makes a user called postgres with the password you supply. Also installs pgadmin III.
run this in app directory:
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -- --with-pg-include=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/include/ --with-pg-lib=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2 sudo env ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386' gem install pg/lib/
Open pgadmin3 and create a user and password for rails, then add it to config.
psql [database_name] # to check on your db. Or use pgadmin III

Rails: Installing PG gem on OS X - failure to build native extension

It seems many others have had problems installing the pg gem. None of the solutions posed for others have worked for me.
I have tried to install the pg gem and postgres.app. The pg gem won't install. The first error I get is:
An error occurred while installing pg (0.17.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install pg -v '0.17.0' succeeds before bundling.
The installation advice about pointing my gem install to the config for pg fails with the following error message (which many others on this forum have encountered):
Failed to build native extensions... Results logged to /Users/melanie/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/pg-0.17.0/ext/gem_make.out
I don't know how to find or access this log file to search for further clues.
I also get an error message (command not found) when I try using the sudo apt-get install command. I've scoured this forum for the last 6 hours, trying each piece of advice to get pg working with my rails project.
I can't find advice about how to change a path, or specifically, what change is required. My which pg_config returns a file source. I've used that with a command to install pg using that config. It fails.
There are so many people that have had trouble with this. Many answers suggest homebrew. I've had to remove that because it threw up other issues.
Same error for me and I didn't experience it until I downloaded OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Sigh, another OS upgrade headache.
Here's how I fixed it (with homebrew):
Install another build of Xcode Tools (typing brew update in the terminal will prompt you to update the Xcode build tools)
brew update
brew install postgresql
After that gem install pg worked for me.
If you are using Ubuntu try to install following lib file
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
and then
gem install pg
worked for me.
I am using OS X Mavericks (version 10.9)
and when I run the above I got the following message: If builds of PostgreSQL 9 are failing and you have version 8.x installed.
So I run the following command:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
and this worked for me, I hope this helps someone :)
Ok I also had this problem (psql is v 9.3.0 and ruby is v 2.1.2) and the solution that worked for me was setting the bundle config settings first:
bundle config build.pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin/pg_config
This answer finally helped me figure it out: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9235107/3546680
I tried everything for hours but the following finally fixed it (I'm on OS X 10.9.4):
Install Xcode command line tools (Apple Developer site)
brew uninstall postgresql
brew install postgresql
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
easy step
brew install postgresql
gem install pg -v 'your version'
Similarly, after installing Mavericks bundle update was throwing an error on the pg gem, which is only used on production and not locally.
I use Brew to manage my packages and postgresql was already installed, but still I was getting the 'no pg_config' error.
The fix was to just brew uninstall postgresql, then brew install postgresql. After which I was immediately able to successfully run bundle update.
I believe the “correct” answer would be to first configure PATH correctly for Postgres.app by adding the following to ~/.profile (.zshrc or ~/.zprofile if using ZSH):
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin
Then open a new tab or window in terminal and install the pg gem with:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
Documented here:
https://postgresapp.com/documentation/cli-tools.html
https://postgresapp.com/documentation/configuration-ruby.html
On OSX with Postgres installed in /Applications, I simply run the following command (change 0.20 & 9.4 according to your version)
gem install pg -v '0.20' -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin/pg_config
You should have :
Building native extensions with:
'--with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin/pg_config'
This could take a while... Successfully installed pg-0.20.
running brew update and then brew install postgresql worked for me, I was able to run the pg gem file no problem after that.
I spent a day on this and here's how I got it fixed:
I found that global value of build.pg was set to: /opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin/pg_config
and that was not where postgres was installed.
I fixed it with replacing the value of build.pg to:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.4.4/bin/pg_config
which is where my postgresql installation is.
Try:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=`which pg_config`
Solved!
I found some lack of library for PostgreSQL on the system.
Only two steps solved it:
brew install postgresql
Then run
gem install pg
For those who are not interested to use brew.
Download PostgreSQL application.
Follow the macOS default instruction to install it.
It is advisable to run PostgreSQl.
Run gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/path/to/postgress/in/your/applications/folder/`
For example, in my machine it is
/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/12/bin/pg_config
i got same problem and i solved
gem update --system 3.0.6
