Could not find json-1.8.1 in any of the sources

Question

I'm doing a project using react-rails but when I run

bundle install

I get

Could not find json-1.8.1 in any of the sources

Specifically, this is the entire error

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

There's been various posts about this on stackoverflow, and have tried most "solutions' but none seem to work for me, I also ran

gem list | grep json

It says I have the json gem via

 json (1.8.3)
 multi_json (1.10.1)

I've tried to stop spring, updating the gems, & bundler. I've also ran

rbenv rehash

To no avail, still getting this error, any input would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I had a problem last time on Ubuntu , i tried to install this library and it worked as well.

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

You can refer document at: Failed to build gem json native extension

Answer 2

You may want to lower down your ruby version or bump json version up. See: https://github.com/flori/json/issues/229

Had a quick look at json 1.8.1 gemspec and no mention of ruby 2.3.0 support as of today.
