Rake fails to install on Cygwin

90 Views Asked by At

We just installed the latest cygwin (setup version: 2.891 - 64bit on the latest Windows 10) and we've installed rvm (1.29.4) and whenever we run bundle install we obtain the following error:

Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8
An error occurred while intalling rake (12.3.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that 'gem install rake -v '12.3.1' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'' succeeds before bundling.

A version of the same error appears when simply gem install rake and there is no stack trace or further indication of where the error lies. How do I proceed with tracking this down? Is there an error log I should be looking at? Where is the encoding mismatch being generated by gem install?

Thanks!
