Essentially, someone on my team added Linux specific installation of some stuff. To fix it, do the following:

For rb-inotify stuff, do this:

group :development do
  gem 'rb-inotify', :require => false
  gem 'rb-fsevent', :require => false
  gem 'rb-fchange', :require => false
end

If you have libnotify, do this:

gem 'libnotify' if /linux/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM
gem 'growl' if /darwin/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM

Worked for me, happy coding!
