My guess is that you need a more current version of Ruby. In the changelog, it says Middleman dropped support for Ruby 1.9.2 and under as of version 3.1. (From what I can tell, it looks like you are running v3.3 under Ruby 1.9.1)

github.com

middleman/middleman/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#310-highlights

# master

- Always write `deps.yml` if `--track-dependencies` is set and the file doesn't exist
- Add `--dependency-file` flag to configure the file location.
- Handle the removal of a file in dependencies. Fixes #2292

# 5.0.0.rc.1

- Support NO_COLOR: https://no-color.org
- Update activesupport to 5.x and padrino to 0.14.x
- Add `--dry-run` to run a build, but skip outputting to disk.
- Incremental builds: `--track-dependencies` and `--only-changed` flags (#2220)
- Remove Rack support in favor of `resource.filters << proc { |oldbody| newbody }`
- `manipulate_resource_list_container!` as a faster, less functional approach.
- i18n was accidentally duplicating requests for extension-based template (file.es.html)
- Make sass cache configurable with either `SASS_CACHE_LOCATION` env variable or `sass_cache_location` Middleman config variable. (#2213)
- Fix Internal Server Error from `__middleman` meta page in dev. (#2187)
- Reduce mutex hits in parallel build (#2107)
- Docker-ized CLI
- Add Errno::ENETUNREACH to exception list in BasicNetworkResolver (#2195)

Thanks for your answer!

When I check version installed I got this:

ignacio@s001:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p545 (2014-02-24 revision 45159) [x86_64-linux]
ignacio@s001:~$ gem -v
2.2.2

In order to install ruby i have used this installation script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev checkinstall
# apt-get -y install libmysqlclient-dev # uncomment for mysql support
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p545.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ruby-1.9.3-p545.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.3-p545/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
checkinstall --type=debian --install=yes --fstrans=no --pakdir='~'

# instalando el soporte a SSL
cd ext/openssl/
ruby extconf.rb
make
checkinstall --type=debian --install=yes --fstrans=no --pakdir='~'

#Updagre Gem
#sudo gem update --system

Other thinks that I can do is install a different version of Ruby for example:

ruby-2.0.0-p451.tar.gz

download from http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/

Let me try an I will tell you my results.

Thanks again!

I am getting the same error and my system is very fresh and current.
ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-linux]
gem -v 2.2.2

nachommm · April 6, 2014, 1:55am

Well i don’t have good news, I have installed ruby in other way (rvm), using the following commands, and i got the same error msg.

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm requirements
rvm install ruby
rvm rubygems current

and finally; gem install middleman

middleman init mynewhost
      create  mynewhost/Gemfile
(erb):5:in `template': uninitialized constant Middleman::VERSION (NameError)
        from /home/ignacio/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/erb.rb:850:in `eval'

        from /home/ignacio/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/gems/thor-0.19.1/lib/thor/actions/file_manipulation.rb:116:in `block in template'

        from /home/ignacio/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/gems/thor-0.19.1/lib/thor/actions/create_file.rb:62:in `open'

I will continue trying tomorrow, I will do my best to find where the issue comes from.

Those are the exact steps I did on a clean Digital Ocean Ubuntu 12.04 box. Same exact error.

nachommm · April 6, 2014, 2:38am

Hi, Yes!! I am using a clean ubuntu 12.04LTS installation on a Virtual Box machine… I have found these step from DO comunity article

nachommm · April 6, 2014, 3:45am

I got the way to solve the issue:

gem install middleman-blog
gem install execjs
gem install therubyracer

I think that middleman-blog resolved gem dependency that were pending… I am not sure why, but these 3 lines resolved my issue and now I can play with middleman.

justin_t_brown · April 6, 2014, 4:54am

Thanks @nachommm! This worked for me.

Does anybody know why these particular gems fix the issue? Or if it is a matter of fixing dependencies, which ones?

mentalgrinds · April 7, 2014, 7:59am

That worked for me also. After each gem I tried to init. Not until therubyracer was installed did it work. Thank you for figuring this out.

daryllxd · April 7, 2014, 1:05pm

For me, it was gem install middleman-blog that solved the issue. Tried installing therubyracer first but it my OS (OS X I think x64?) wasn’t supported.

nachommm · April 7, 2014, 2:02pm

yes, the therubyracer is a dependency for execjs, middleman.blog needs to have installed a javascript runtime, if you have node.js or other javascript installed you don’t need to install therubyracer.
