Scout error when using MAMP with WP-foundation theme

Question

This is my first question on SO so if I am not adhering to the guidelines correctly, please let me know.

I am trying to work locally on a WordPress theme WP-foundation from Zurb. I have downloaded WP and installed it in the htdocs folder of MAMP and downloaded the WP-foundation theme and pasted it into the themes folder. I was able to set up the database and setup the config file. All of that seems to be working fine.

I want to work in SCSS using the Scout app. I set up Scout like this:

Input folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testsite/wp-content/themes/wp-foundation/sass
Output folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testsite/wp-content/themes/wp-foundation/stylesheets

When I tell Scout to start looking for changes I get the following error message:

LoadError on line 1038 of org/jruby/RubyKernel.java: no such file to load -- zurb-foundation

/Applications/Scout.app/Contents/Resources/bin/compass:12:in `(root)'

I am pretty new to MAMP and Ruby so any kind of guidance on what is going wrong would be very helpful. I may be way off base but it looks like the Scout app is missing some compass files.

Thanks again and let me know if there are better ways I can interact with the SO community in general.

For MAC OS X

open your terminal and check if ruby gems is installed

gem -v

if you get a version number try

gem install rubygems-update

or ( if you get an error )

sudo gem install rubygems-update

and enter your system password. When it's finished just restart your compass app and try again.

Hope that was helpful!
