1,455 PointsCant Install Devise.
Hey everyone, I was trying to instal "Devise" for the "Ruby" series, but couldn't get in to properly install in Terminal.
I included: gem 'devise' in the gem file, and ran bundle in Terminal.
However, I get this error message.
An error occurred while installing bcrypt-ruby (3.1.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install bcrypt-ruby -v '3.1.2' succeeds before bundling.
What may I be doing wrong here? I'm new to ROR, so I'm still unfamiliar with the basics, but please help!
Thanks in advance!

If you are already using rails 3.2, then you probably have to specify the version of devise that works with that version of rails.

1,455 PointsThank you Daniel and Brandon!
I'm absolutely a beginner with Ruby, so I had no idea how to solve this, but I made it to work. I was using Rails version 3.2, and also specified the version of Devise to use. However, when I ran the "gem install bcrypt-ruby" command, an error came up saying,
Error installing bcrypt-ruby: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
I ended up with this article: "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6119153/why-do-i-get-a-bcrypt-ruby-gem-install-error" and succeeded upon running this command: "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2".
I'm still not 100% sure what this all means, but I did get it going. Thank you!
