Gem::Ext::BuildError while trying to install gem bootstrap-sass in rails app


Okay so I'm trying to install the gem bootstrap-sass in my ruby on rails app but getting this error.

I followed the basic steps by pasting $ gem 'bootstrap-sass' and $ gem 'autoprefixer-rails' into the gemfile and runnig bndle install in the terminal. My laptop is running on ubuntu 18.04 if that might be causing issue.

An error occurred while installing ffi (1.11.1), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install ffi -v '1.11.1'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  bootstrap-sass was resolved to 3.4.1, which depends on
    sassc was resolved to 2.0.1, which depends on
      ffi

Solution

  • gem 'bootstrap-sass', '3.3.7'

    repelce

    gem 'bootstrap-sass'.

    because bootstrap-sass was 3.4.1 too higher.
