[SOLVED]Ruby Gem gtk3 Won't Install

deryl · 2015-04-22 10:46:55

I wrote a ruby program that uses gtk3, which I had installed from AUR using yaourt. Recently I noticed that the package has been orphaned, so I decided, possibly unwisely, to uninstall the AUR package and install the gem via 'gem install gtk3'. Unfortunately I get this result:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing gtk3:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I found this bug report, but I can't tell if this is related or not.

I can successfully install other gems.

I tried going back to the AUR package, but now I get this error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
ruby-pkgconfig: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/cache/pkg-config-1.1.6.gem exists in filesystem

gem list produces this:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bigdecimal (1.2.7, 1.2.6)
io-console (0.4.3)
json (1.8.2, 1.8.1)
minitest (5.6.0, 5.4.3)
pkg-config (1.1.6)
power_assert (0.2.3, 0.2.2)
psych (2.0.13, 2.0.8)
rake (10.4.2)
rdoc (4.2.0)
test-unit (3.0.9, 3.0.8)

I ran 'gem uninstall pkg-config' and retried the AUR package install with the same result.

Your gem compilation hit known upstream bug https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/issues/361 Here is a patch that fixes ruby-glib2 https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ruby-glib2 I do not know if ruby-gtk3 should be patched or not (most likely not).

To fix "gem exists in filesystem" error you need to remove all the gems installed globally (to /usr/...). The best way is to use lostfiles package from AUR.

Thank you for the help. I was able to use lostfiles as suggested to locate the globally installed gems. After removing them, ruby-gtk3 install without issue.
