Jekyll - Liquid Exception: unable to load such a file - yajl / 2.0 / yajl

Question

I'm trying to get Jekyll to work on Windows, and I'm out of luck. This is the first time I have installed / used Ruby.

• Ruby version : ruby ​​2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24) [i386-mingw32] ( http://rubyinstaller.org/ )

• Jekyll version : jekyll 1.0.1

The error disappears when I set pygments to false in _config.yml .

Error message

Answer 1

The problem was like @scriptin mentioned in the comments.

I installed ruby ​​v 1.9.3 instead, and it solved my problem.

Answer 2

I did the following

 gem install rouge 

and then the following line is added in _config.yml

 highlighter: rouge 

I found this solution from the following line of comments on the page https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-help/issues/50

Answer 3

just add the following line to _config.yml

 highlighter: false 

Now go to localhost: 4000

Answer 4

Today I encountered a similar problem when trying to configure Octopress / Jekyll.

Here is the solution I found.

Step 1

Go to the ruby ​​gem catalog. In my case, it was in C:/Ruby21/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems

Look for the juggle.

You will see a folder called yajl-ruby-1.1.0-x86-mingw32

You may or may not see one of the named yajl-ruby-1.2.1

The default tail is -ruby-1.1.0-x86-mingw32. And leads to an error.

We want to use a different version

Step 2

If you do not have a version of none mingw32, run

 gem install yajl-ruby 

This will install the latest version.

In my case, the latest version was 1.2.1

Step 3

Change the default value from mingw32 version to current version.

To do this, go to gemfile.lock

Find the line that says yajl-ruby (1.1.0-x86-mingw32)

and change it to yajl-ruby (1.2.1)

or the corresponding version that you downloaded

Step 4

What is it. Now it should work.

Answer 5

You can get around this by manually editing the file, which gives an error to look like this.

RUBY_VERSION = ~ / (\ d +. \ D +) / require "yajl"

Answer 6

Other proposed solutions seem to either turn off code allocation or set it to use Rouge instead of Pyigs. I need to use Pyigs because of more language support.

As described at https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/issues/116 , this problem occurs because the precompiled yajl will not work with Ruby 2.0. It must be compiled. To make this work so that you can use pygments:

• Remove the precompiled yajl-ruby gem.
• Install it using the syntax shown in this github thread. Please note that you may need to specify a version. In my case, Jekyll specifically wanted 1.1.0, so I installed this syntax:

gem install yajl-ruby --platform = ruby ​​--version = 1.1.0

After that, Jekyll worked without turning off code highlighting or switching to Rouge.

Answer 7

Install yajl 1.2.0. This seems to be a bug with 1.2.1.

 gem install yajl-ruby --version=1.2.0 --platform=ruby 

the problem is resolved.

I'm not sure that part of the platform is important, as others think, but it worked for me.
