I've rebuilt the ffi gem and it works now (don't know how to work with gem: util correctly):

cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/
bin/gem install ffi -v
cp lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ffi-1.9.10/ffi_c.so  /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ffi-1.9.10/ffi_c.so

This is a hack until you get around to fix it.

[smerrill]

I can confirm this issue and that the workaround works on Fedora 23.

[rmebjesus]

I can also confirm the issue on RHEL 7.2 on 1.8.1 release.

@dkarlovi workaround works just fine, thanks!

[max-lobur]

Still reproduced, CentoS 7.2.1511, vagrant 1.8.5.
Fix is:

cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/ && \
bin/gem install ffi -v 1.9.14 && \
yes | cp {lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0,gems}/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ffi-1.9.14/ffi_c.so

[AronNovak]

Confirmed, Fedora 24, 64 bit, same issue, and the fix above by @max-lobur works perfectly.
Vagrant 1.8.5

[samjetski]

Confirmed, Fedora 24, 64 bit, same issue, same fix.
Vagrant 1.8.7

Note: due to SSL errors, I instead had to use:

bin/gem install ffi -v 1.9.14 --clear-sources --source http://rubygems.org/

[dkarlovi]

Still broken on 1.9, had to do this:

# embedded rubygems certificate verification failed failed
# see http://guides.rubygems.org/ssl-certificate-update/#manual-solution-to-ssl-issue
cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/ssl_certs/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rubygems/rubygems/master/lib/rubygems/ssl_certs/index.rubygems.org/GlobalSignRootCA.pem

# rebuild ffi
cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/
bin/gem install ffi
 cp lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ffi-1.9.14/ffi_c.so  /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ffi-1.9.14/ffi_c.so

[pembo13]

Could someone please clarify how this has been resolved for us CentOS users? Or when there will be updated RPMs that have this fix?

[dkarlovi]

@pembo13 I'm guessing the next release will include this fix? /cc @chrisroberts

[paperscissors]

This issue persists on Fedora 25 with Vagrant 1.9.1.
