Ruby on Rails bundle install errors

Question

I downloaded ruby on rails using railsInstaller and created my first project using "rails new temp" command. Then when I run "bundle install" command, I get the following error:

An error occurred while installing bindex (0.5.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install bindex -v '0.5.0'` succeeds before bundling.

Could someone help me with this problem. I couldn't find any solution elsewhere.
Edit I'm using Windows 10.

try renaming your Ruby on Rails folder to something that does not contain spaces, like RoR for instance. Would love to her response from you. — seethrough

Try renaming your Ruby on Rails folder to something that does not contain spaces, like RoR for instance.

Edit: I was not sure if that would work, but what made me think the above was the case is this part

make "DESTDIR=" clean
Makefile:263: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

make "DESTDIR="
Makefile:263: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

So the way I understand what is going on is the following: installer meets the destination folder path and when parsing it splits by space(not sure why) and thus ending up with multiple target patterns. Not 100 percent sure, though. Glad my advice helped

Windows 10 might lack of some binaries that Linux system does (That's what building native extensions means here). Maybe you can remove the gem or either run in a virtual Linux environment for a quick setup.

Better practice is to use ruby installer while installing Ruby On Rails on Windows platform.

use this link to down load the installer ruby installer for windows

One more approach is open new command prompt and install the missing gems or the gem which threw an error. sometimes manually installing gems fixes the error. so open command prompt do the following

1) gem list ---> will print all the gems 2) gem install bindex -v '0.5.0'

continue the procedure until success.

Thanks Ajith
