Answer 1

Try to tell to bundler which folder it must use, something like bundle install --path <myfolder> or bundle install --path gems.

Note that I didn't test this yet, but it seems promising, please post the result for us.

Answer 2

If it's feasible, I recommend installing your own copy of rvm in ~/.rvm so you aren't tied to the system one. Trying to have a hybrid system+user approach will likely lead to more headaches later on.

Or, if you're open to alternate solutions, rbenv is a leaner & cleaner ruby manager.

Answer 3

rvm reinstall all worked for me.

Before you do that, I would try

gem update --system
gem pristine --all --no-extensions

please note that rvm reinstall all takes a lot of time to complete...

Answer 4

okay, first of all, you could solve all this issues easily by using rvm (user installation), see http://rvm.io, if that is not an option, you could try using project-specific gem paths. for example i have the following bundler config file (~/.bundle/config)

---
BUNDLE_PATH: .bundle
BUNDLE_DISABLE_SHARED_GEMS: "1"

which causes bundler to install all gems in a .bundle sub directory (inside your project folder, where you run bundle install). now, if you remember to use bundle exec for your bins (e.g. cap(istrano)), you're fine.

if you somehow f*cked up your bundler / cache, try deleting the .bundle folder (in your project folder)

Answer 5

Fixed it by deleting cache file and re-running bundle install.

rm -rf <location_of_cache>. In your case:

rm -rf /afs/varda.io/user/b/br/bruno/test6/cache
