Issue with json 1.8.1 in my gemfile?

Question

I am getting following error message when running bundle install in my rails app:

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.1'` succeeds before bundling.

I then run gem install json -v '1.8.1'

and get this error:

ERROR:  Error installing json:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I have tried commenting out gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'

but I still get the same error.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here besides that I think there might be some dependency issue because I don't even have json 1.8.1 in my gemfile. Thanks for the help.

According to this thread you might need to upgrade json to 1.8.3 in order to compile it with ruby 2.2 (I'm assuming you're using 2.2)

To update json, try to install it first with:

gem install json -v '1.8.3'

After that, update the json gem in you Gemfile with

bundle update json

If it won't work, than you probably need to update other gems in your Gemfile which require json < 1.8.3 (I can see sdoc (0.4.1) in the Gemfile.lock, for instance). Try to run bundle update (without params).

I'd also recommend to update bundler and rubygems.
