BUNDLED WITH
   2.3.10

[hovancik]

I have the same issue when trying to install rails gem in Github Codespaces ;/

[Mahesh-Alyana]

just run the command with sudo and bhooom...! it will work

[schappim]

can confirm it works w/ sudo

[pboling]

racc 1.7 has been released, and may improve this.

[deivid-rodriguez]

Also, make sure to use latest RubyGems & Bundler, and make sure you use either Rbenv or RVM (not both), and if you use RVM, please remove the rubygems-bundler gems, since it hacks into Bundler & RubyGems internals and it's know to have caused issues in the past.

[deivid-rodriguez]

Closing since we never got replies.
