通过命令行安装'Compass'会收到错误“extconf failed，退出代码1”

Question

Couldn't find an answer to this. Running OS X Yosemite Beta v2

When following compass install guide ensure that your gem is up-to-date

gem update --system

Then run

gem install compass 

Answer 1

Assuming your installation failed for the same reason as mine, you'll notice that the error logs states:

"You have to install development tools first."

So, install xcode and try:

xcode-select --install

Follow the onscreen instructions and you should be golden. For reference, this is the error I received when attempting

Computer:Folder User$ sudo gem install compass

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Answer 2

If you have XCODE installed, you need to open. Because the OS needs to add components and these are added when you open the app.

Try again run

sudo gem install compass

Enjoy!
