Install Calabash-Android causes error on OS X Mavericks


I need some help with trying to install Calabash-Android. After installing rvm, home-brew, when I install Calabash i get a strange error:

sudo gem install calabash-android
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing calabash-android:

Not sure what the error means, I have installed Xcode tools for mavericks as well. Any thoughts out there?


Solution

  • I had the same problem and I just found out a solution for this.

    I found one related problem here:

    http://techespanto.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/upgrade-ruby-version-on-mac-osx/

    and it suggested I had to upgrade the ruby version on my machine. The first two commands in that link are not working, so I leave you here what I did:

    Install the command line tools for mac with:

    xcode-select --install
    

    Install homebrew in your mac with:

    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
    

    Install rvm with:

    \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enable
    

    List the latest ruby versions with:

    rvm list known
    

    Install the latest ruby version with:

    rvm install ruby-<version>
    

    (for me it was ruby-2.1-head)

    And that's all. Hope it works for you as well!
