After manually cleaning Ruby gems on my system, I got this error running rails c or rails s
zlu@zlu-mba:~/projects/foo (master *)$ rails c
/Users/zlu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/json-1.7.5/lib/json/ext/parser.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]
Abort trap: 6It is very weird if you think about it. The ruby -v shows that the system is using ruby version 1.9.3 managed by rvm.
But the error shows ruby 1.8.7! It must be something I did with uninstalling versions of gems where executable requirements got messed up.
Instead of imploding rvm, here’s what I did to correct the problem.
gem list | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs gem uninstall -aIx
gem install bundler
bundle installThe first command uninstalls all the gems, including bundler.
After reinstalling bundler, you can run bundle install, assuming you are in a project directory where Gemfile.lock exists.
