Gem install error on 1.9.0

[howels]

On a new Ubuntu 16.04.1 install I see the following errors:

# gem install rbvmomi -v '1.9.0'
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

From what I see so far there is a dependency on Rake 11.2 which isn't stated, and when Rake 10.5 is used the above error is thrown.

@howels Yikes. Ok, thanks for reporting. I'll look into it.

[jrgarcia]

@howels Can you provide the Ruby version and RubyGems version? I'm not able to reproduce.

[howels]

Sure. I'm using the default Ubuntu docker image. So that means Ruby 2.3.1p112 at present. The following docker image will reproduce:

FROM ubuntu:16.04

ENV LANG C.UTF-8

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    ruby \
    ruby-dev \
    zlib1g-dev \
    liblzma-dev \
    build-essential \
    patch \
    libxml2-dev \
    libxslt1-dev \
    libxslt-dev \
    libffi-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    --no-install-recommends 

RUN gem install rbvmomi

ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/bash" ]

I'm having the same issue with the following ruby and rake versions on RHEL 7.2.

# ruby --version
ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-linux]

# rake --version
rake, version 10.5.0

[jrgarcia]

I'm working on a fix for this right now. I hope to have it committed and release a new version at some point today.

[jrgarcia]

@howels @nmaludy Can you check to see if v1.9.2 fixes this for you?

[nmaludy]

@jrgarcia yes this works on my end. Thanks!

[howels]

Yes, works for me. Thanks again.
