Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension on macOS Monterey-CodePudding

When I run bundle install on my rails 5 project, I am getting a number of errors on gems that appear to have native extensions. Here is the top of the output for one of those gems:

Installing nio4r 1.2.1 with native extensions

I have tried a number of things.

Per this post I tried the following suggestions:

# didn't fix it
bundle config build.nio4r --with-cflags="-std=c99"
bundle

# didn't fix it
xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
bundle

I also referenced this Go Rails guide, specifically the "Final Steps" section that deals with gems that require C extensions, but that command seems to not apply because I didn't migrate my macOS from Mojave.

At this point I'm not sure what to try next. Ultimately: it appears the issue revolves around being unable to install gems that require C extensions.

Environment:

macOS Monterey version 12.2
Using rvm with ruby version 2.7.4
Project is using rails version 5.0.1

CodePudding user response：

It turns out the problem was that in the Gemfile.lock file, it was locked to using an older version of bundler. We simply deleted the Gemfile.lock, and re-ran bundle to regenerate Gemfile.lock. That solved it. It now says this at the bottom of the Gemfile.lock file, so it liked this version of bundler:
