build fails installing linecache19 gem on a ruby 1.9 server about engineyard-jenkins HOT 3 OPEN

You can work around this problem by manually installing the gem:

deploy@ip-10-160-242-232 /data/jenkins-ci $ sudo gem install linecache19
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed linecache19-0.5.12
1 gem installed

Essentially how I solved it that day. There were also a couple of directories which should have been writeable by the deploy user but wasn't.

Anyway, we've since rebuilt the slice, and the issue did not come up (no manual install necessary) - the updates from EY must have fixed it.

I solved this by running these two commands:

sudo bundle install
bundle install

The first, built code outside of ~ and needed more access. The second worked because the core dependencies outside of ~ were now finished. I found that my installation can use the user's version of gems.
