vagrant-aws plugin installation error

Question

I am trying to install the aws plugin for vagrant but getting an error. I am running vagrant 1.9 on macOS Sierra 10.12.1. I have no ruby expertise so I can use all the help you can provide.
I tried installing ruby version 2.3.3, but based on the paths below vagrant is using the embedded version.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
Installing the 'vagrant-aws' plugin. This can take a few minutes...

This appears to be fixed in Vagrant 1.9.1, as I also had this same issue with the vagrant-rackspace plugin, but it installs fine now.

I confirm. Upgrading to vagrant 1.9.1 solved my issue. thanks! – user3137124 Dec 10 '16 at 00:39
On OSX, that's `brew cask reinstall vagrant`. There is no "upgrade" for casks. – Bruno Bronosky Jan 23 '17 at 22:04

I am having exactly the same issue on current Arch Linux. I'll also add that even if I:

vagrant plugin install fog-xml
Installing the 'fog-xml' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Installed the plugin 'fog-xml (0.1.2)'!

Or:

`gem install fog-xml`

I get the same error condition.

Are you using Vagrant 1.9? do you know if you got this error with a prior version? – user3137124 Dec 05 '16 at 23:36

It does seem to be a problem unique to vagrant 1.9, and I believe it's fixed with this: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/8079/commits/3dccd82a39bfb9929070b043a9144fa20191220d – user2653964 Dec 06 '16 at 23:48
