I keep hitting an error when running $ Bundle Install

An error occurred while installing capybara-webkit (0.12.1), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.12.1' succeeds before bundling.

Is there a way to bypass this gem and continue with the install?

Thank you!

    This is just Bundler's way of saying: "Hey, I think there's something wrong with your system, cause I cannot install `capybara-webkit`".As the error messages says, check what happens when you run `gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.12.1'` – tadejm Aug 22 '13 at 19:04
  • After running **gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.12.1'** I get an error notifying me that it failed to build gem native extension: "ERROR: Error installing capybara-webkit: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension." – CharleeKelee Aug 22 '13 at 20:33
  • so you should get a cause why the extension could not be build, maybe you are missing the required compiler or whatever, posting these erros would help to solve your issue – jethroo Aug 22 '13 at 21:47

If capybara-webkit is dependency of one of your other gems, you can't bypass installing it, since another gem requires it to function. Otherwise, just remove / comment it out in your Gemfile.

According to capybara-webkit Github page you've gotta setup Qt first before installing:

capybara-webkit depends on a WebKit implementation from Qt, a cross-platform development toolkit. You'll need to download the Qt libraries to build and install the gem. You can find instructions for downloading and installing QT on the capybara-webkit wiki. capybara-webkit requires Qt version 4.8.
