My Gemfile is as follows.

Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.19'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'sqlite3'


# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.2.3'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'

  # See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
  # gem 'therubyracer', :platforms => :ruby

  gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails'

# To use ActiveModel has_secure_password
# gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '~> 3.0.0'

# To use Jbuilder templates for JSON
# gem 'jbuilder'

# Use unicorn as the app server
# gem 'unicorn'

# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem 'capistrano'

# To use debugger

gem 'mongoid', '2.0.0.beta.19'
gem 'bson_ext'

Please help me resolve this error.

As the error reads:

Make sure that gem install bson_ext -v '1.12.1' succeeds before bundling.

Installing bson_ext is causing issue. Try updating rubygems and then try again:

gem update --system
gem install bson_ext -v '1.12.1'
bundle install
