I have been working through an issue with CANVAS LMS where what appears to be a stale version of ruby existed in /usr/lib/vendor_ruby.
When I removed the /usr/lib/vendor_ruby/rails and /usr/lib/vendor_ruby/rails.rb files, the issue with Canvas disappeared.
What is the purpose of the /usr/lib/vendor_ruby directory?
I am running ruby 1.9.3 on Ubuntu 13.04, and have upgraded from 1.8.7.
Can I safely remove the entire /usr/lib/vendor_ruby directory?
Thanks.
Don
According to this excerpt from The Ruby Programming Language book, the vendor_ruby directory is intended for customizations provided by the OS vendor. In my personal experience it is safe to remove, and doing so can (like probably also in your case) resolve conflicts with Gems installed into the other directories.

was trying to download Window Binary Release for ImageMagick installation in Windows 7 Rails 4.2.4 , Ruby 2.1.5.
however all the download links returned not found.
ImageMagick windows binary release link
Are there any alternative links to download the file so that a proper installation can be done?
I've just followed the link you provided, and tried:
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-Q16-x64-dll.exe
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-Q16-x64-dll.exe
and a couple of others, and they all started a download. It's either a temporary thing with that server, or if permanent, your setup. Machine/ISP/Country comes to mind.
https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Also provides some mirrors, I see the German one has windows binaries.

Whenever I go to import the module I get this screen:
I used the following file path, maybe this is whats wrong?
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby-build/20160130/share/ruby-build/2.3.0
And got this error:
I'd appreciate any ideas anyone might have, i've been trying get this working all night!
I ran into this problem with Intellij IDEA 2020.2. It took a while to resolve because the Intellij documentation seems to be missing one critical piece.
When you first open a project in IDEA, it assumes all your code is part of a Java module. With that module in place you cannot set a Ruby SDK at the module level. There's no option to do because the existing module is configured as Java.
Here's a screenshot of my example project with the default Java module. Notice the icon is a folder with a blue rectangle in the lower, right corner.
Here's what I had to do.
Open the Project Structure dialog (File | Project Structure).
In the Modules settings, highlight the top-level project module and click the delete button (looks like a minus sign).
Click the plus sign to add a new module.
From the pop-up click "New Module".
In the "New Module" pop-up select Ruby and the correct Module SDK (e.g. rbenv: 2.5.0)
When you are prompted to enter the Module name, Content root, and Module file location, make sure the directories are set to your project's root. When I entered the module name it appended the name to the project's root directory which is probably not what you want.
Once you've done that the module should appear with a Ruby icon on it and the rest should work as documented here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configuring-language-interpreter.html
Here's a screenshot of my new Ruby module. You can see the Ruby icon replaced the blue rectangle.
I hope this saves you some time!
In order to set Ruby SDK for your project in IDEA you need to go to File | Project Structure | Project Settings and set project and module SDK.
Olivia is correct, the "Project Structure..." (Mac shortcut Cmd+;) is the dialog for configuring the IDE to use different ruby installations.
The first requirement is that the ruby manager (chruby, rbenv, rvm) is configured properly.
Another concern is exactly where and how jetbrains expects the ruby installation to be organized. I wonder if Intellij is compatible with the way ruby-install lays out ruby? That's the one I used with chruby. I could not make it work.
The posted url to Opening Rails projects in IntelliJ IDEA helped me feel the most confidence that we are on the right track. :)
At the time, I was failing to get Intellij configured due to fact the gem files were not seen by the IDE. All but about 4 gems in my project's Gemfile was being highlighted as having an SDK problem.
To end this, I stopped using chruby and ruby-install. I am not blaming chruby, however I could not make the chruby system work properly with the IDE. It worked fine in the shell. Note, I am a previous user of rvm and rbenv. Switching back to rbenv, now. Note that I've also stopped using ruby-build directly.
Instead, I built the first ruby version directly from rbenv:
rbenv install 2.3.1
Next, I created the .ruby-version file in the root of my rails project directory by running:
rbenv local 2.3.1
To help with any confusion regarding the minimum support needed in the shell startup scripts. Do not alter PATH at all. Place the following in your shell startup script system, whatever that may be:
# rbenv config in my .bash_profile
# --------------------------------
if which rbenv > /dev/null; then
eval "$(rbenv init -)";
fi
With the prerequisites out of the way...
I recommend doing the project import in the same way described in the jetbrains tutorial Opening Rails projects in IntelliJ IDEA.
In the first screenshot from thesowismine, I see two dialogs for different purposes that are simultaneously open. Unless I am mistaken, one of those dialogs should have received its info and closed before going forward, at least during the wizard-like process. Perhaps this was done and that dialog was reloaded later?
In any event, that is not where the Ruby SDK is associated to a Rails project. The screenshot indicates the User is browsing around the brew Cellar, which may indicate two things.
Ruby was installed with a brew install <version> command; I installed ruby by calling the rbenv ecosystem.
That particular dialog is for informing the IDE about the Rails project folder, not the Ruby kit.
Assuming the first dialog is provided with the root directory of the Rails app and next is clicked; then in the second dialog, I change nothing and click next. The 3rd dialog is where I confirm the project directory is correct and I can assign a more elaborate name (which is displayed in the IDE's project menu). Clicking next may prompt you to write over the ".idea/" directory. Say yes. The next dialog confirms that sources were found. Click next. Now Frameworks begin to be detected assuming the Ruby Manager is setup correctly. Click Finish.
Now, goto the "Project Structure..." dialog to set the SDK.
Before or after setting the SDK, go to the the project directory of your Rails project, run:
gem install bundle
bundle install
This will install all the gems your project requires including the rails gem, as presumably it is listed in your Gemfile.
Note that gemsets do not come up, here. In this config, the set of gems are associated to a particular Ruby installation. Bundler is your friend.

I was able to solve this by doing:

I installed ruby 1.9.3 w/ rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p194.exe, and then installed RubyMine right after, as per directions:
http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/quickstart/index.html
and
http://rubyinstaller.org/
I have git hub for windows already installed which I don't know if that could cause the problem.
I have also installed ruby and rails several times but I looked through the PATH environment variable for any no longer existing installations and removed them (after having already had this error) which didn't help.
Here are the settings I select in RubyMine.
The error message:
"C:\Ruby193\bin\ruby.exe -e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) C:\Ruby193\bin/rails 3.2.6 new "D:/Program Files (x86)/Git/Rails App/asfasf" --skip-test-unit --javascript=jquery --skip --database=postgresql
exist D:/Program Files (x86)/Git/Rails App/asfasf
Could not find "README" in any of your source paths. Your current source paths are:
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.2.6/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates
Process finished with exit code 1"
I apologize if I come across as angry / frustrated (I edited this several times to remove it) as I have been trying to get RubyMine to work on Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 and neither have been successful.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I continued searching through the web for information and remembered somewhere installing rails on windows previously that for some reasons files couldn't have spaces in them.
Long story short: make sure your path doesn't have spaces in the name because it breaks rubymine or rails or something along the way.
Changing my project folder to a destination with no spaces solved the problem.
I mainly do ruby on rails development on my machine but from time to time I end up using other laptops for RoR development. It would be nice if there was something (maybe shell?) which basically bring all the gems installed on my machine to some other machine without leaving any footprints. It's basically a really light VM without the OS stuff.
If it matters, I'm using a mac. Ideally I would like to keep that virtual environment in my dropbox and basically when I use some other machine, I would just get it from my dropbox and start coding and not have to worry about setting up the environment.
Similar to Jacob's answer, I'd recommend using RVM, but I'll expand on it. Here's some brainstorming ideas:
RVM stores its sandbox in your home directory at ~/.rvm. All Ruby instances, plus the associated gems will be stored there. It's a simple addition to the ~/.bashrc file in your Mac to initialize RVM so it's known by the shell when you log into the account. It's also a simple rm -rf ~/.rvm from the commandline to remove the RVM sandbox from the account, followed by removing the line from the ~/.bashrc.
So, basically, by setting up RVM correctly and installing your Ruby installation on one machine, you're 90% of the way to having it available for multiple machines.
I'm pretty sure Ruby will install without any dependencies on a current Mac OS using RVM, but there's a couple libraries that can improve the experience. After installing RVM, but before installing any Rubies, run rvm notes. That will show you what else to install. You'll need the current XCode to compile a Ruby, but only on the machine you do the compiling on. Once it's installed you should be able to move a RVM controlled Ruby around to other Macs by copying the ~/.rvm directory. So, not only would you have the gems, you could have a particular version, or versions, of Ruby, plus the associated gems, so your regression tests could work too.
If you use MacVim you could install it in ~/bin and have the GUI version. I haven't tried running it from there, but it seems like it'd work. You might need to create an alias from /Applications to the one in ~/bin for double-clicking.
MacVim comes with a shell script called mvim to launch it from the command-line. I have a bunch of softlinks to mine letting me call it from the command-line in various ways: gvim, and the gvim varients like gvimdiff and gview. You could do the same by adding ~/bin to your PATH and making the links locally in that dir to MacVim's mvim.
You could build a tarball of the vim config, vim installation and RVM sandbox, copy that to another Mac, expand it, add ~/bin to your PATH and append the needed RVM initialization line in ~/.bashrc, open a new command-line, and have your editor plus Ruby sandboxes.
It's a minor variation on how my Mac and Linux boxes are set up. I haven't tried bundling everything together, but, on Macs that are the same OS version, it should work.
Consider using rvm to manage different gem configurations. If you want you can store your rvm configurations in your dropbox (rather than in ~/.rvm, where they go by default) so that your gemsets are synced across machines.
I'm learning ruby and I had an advanced developer working with me. He installed a bunch of gemsets and adjusted configurations and I need to know how to remove it all and start from scratch so that I can follow along with tutorials. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like he's installed rvm since you're referring to gemsets? If so, you can simply delete the entire ~/.rvm folder and it should switch back to using system ruby.
