Hi,
I'm stuck on snow leopard for various reasons, and was successful in
installing vagrant 1.6.5. However, when I attempt to install the
vagrant-vsphere plugin, I get the following error:
% vagrant plugin install vagrant-vsphere
...
An error occurred while installing ffi (1.9.6), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install ffi -v '1.9.6'` succeeds before bundling.
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem
native extension.

I get the same error when I try to install vagrant-libvert.
I found a reference to this issue [1], which suggests that it is not
fixable due to lack of resources, and the bug was closed.
Using the mac ports install for ruby21 (ruby 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19
revision 47630) [x86_64-darwin10]), I don't have any problem
installing native gems.
However, it appears to be difficult if not impossible to force
vagrant to use a non-embedded version of Ruby.
I have seen another post [2] that suggest that this is a problem with
binary rubies, and the suggested work-around is to use something
called rvm to brew up another version of ruby, i.e.,
rvm reinstall 2.1.0 --disable-binary
But again, this would be hampered by the inability to use my system
ruby over the embedded ruby that now ships with vagrant.
Another idea would be to build vagrant locally, and try the
'--disable-binary" flag, or even hack the pakage install contents to
substitute a different version of ruby. How hard would that be?
Thanks for any suggestions. I would be happy to provide a workable
snow-leopard install to others if I can get it to work.
