Thank you for getting back to me segiddins.

The reason why i took the time to open the issue was because when i followed the instructions at the end of the error:

There weren't any listed.

As a suggestion, maybe it could provide the existing search as well as a truncated issue so that it gets more search hits. This way the user is less likely to think that they are helping by posting, and get to the solution quickly.

For those of you following along at home, in April 2016, rvm updated their stable version to 2.3 which broke the ability to install cocoapods. Then when you try to build you will get an error, which will take you to the internet, and you will find one of the many threads of people complaining about this issue and not being able to build cocoapods. After some digging you will see the two recommendations (which the nice gentleman listed for me here) of

1) installing cocopods beta (which i had done in the past and all hell had broken loose so lets skip this option)
2) use a ruby version < 2.3

---

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source /Users/blah/.rvm/scripts/rvm

rvm install 2.2.2
rvm use 2.2.2
rvm gemset create rails2.2.2
gem install cocoapods
pod setup
pod install

• I wanna give a shout out to my boy cocoapods, for making this all possible and his lil shorty roobies! The struggle is real.

@justlikealltherest please try and keep things civil in issues, and the cursing to a minimum -- it doesn't really contribute to a comfortable environment.

[justlikealltherest]

@segiddins thanks again for your help. please pardon my language. cocoapods just knows how to get going. I appreciate you getting back to me so promptly.

@justlikealltherest sorry, I don't want language like this on our public message board. It's awesome that you're passionate - but it's not how we want to have people participate 👍

So I've edited out some of the more explicit stuff, but left the useful gold 🍰

@orta no problem, I understand. For those of you playing along at home, the PROGRAMMERS GONE WILD: TOO HOT FOR GITHUB EDITION (UNCENSORED) can be found here http://pastebin.com/dZmujxmK
