[SOLVED] Jekyll problem

Hi,
I just installed jekyll with

gem install jekyll

and generated a site with

jekyll new blog

Trying to serve the site locally with

jekyll serve

makes Jekyll quit with

Configuration file: /home/synthetic/blog/_config.yml
            Source: /home/synthetic/blog
       Destination: /home/synthetic/blog/_site

Build Failed

The versions of gem and jekyll are 2.0.2 and 1.0.2.
How can I get past this error?

Re: [SOLVED] Jekyll problem

Hi,
the error seems to be with Pygments as described here:
https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/issues/1181
A workaround (if you're not using python 3) is to locally symlink python to python 2 and put that symlink into the path as described by github user aprescott:
