An error occurred while installing mimemagic (0.3.10), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mimemagic -v '0.3.10' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  rails was resolved to 6.1.3, which depends on
    actionmailbox was resolved to 6.1.3, which depends on
      activestorage was resolved to 6.1.3, which depends on
        marcel was resolved to 0.3.3, which depends on
          mimemagic

Anybody seeing this issue ?
Can you help me fix this.
This issue is occurring after I installed ruby 3.0.1 via rvm

@anupamkakade Do you have more logs below or it's all you received?!

Same problem here, seems to be related to Apple M1 chipset, doing:

$ gem install mimemagic -v '0.3.10' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
ERROR: Error installing mimemagic:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

[carlosgomez2]

Perhaps I was wrong, sorry my first day in a mac environment, I just do brew install shared-mime-info and again try to install with gem install mimemagic -v '0.3.10' --source 'https://rubygems.org/', then it just run fine.

log for reference.

UPD: issue disappeared when I unset bundle path to vendor/bundle.

Same here. Ruby 3.0.1 (via rvm), Linux, Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. shared-mime-info is installed.

I ran into this issue as well and was able to resolve it by upgrading rake to v13.

I could reproduce the issue with the following Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rake', '~> 12.3'
gem 'rails', '6.1.0'

When I ran bundle with the --path argument, I got the following error:

$ bundle install --path=vendor/bundle

Removing the rake ~> 12.3 restriction upgraded it to 13 and it worked after that.

I ran brew install shared-mime-info but mimemagic still couldn't find it because Homebrew installed it in a different place to what was expected. I had to run:

cp /opt/homebrew/Cellar/shared-mime-info/2.1/share/shared-mime-info/packages/freedesktop.org.xml /opt/homebrew/share/mime/packages/

Then the bundle install worked 👍

[clebio]

The trace shows

Ensure you have either installed the shared-mime-info package for your distribution, or
obtain a version of freedesktop.org.xml and set FREEDESKTOP_MIME_TYPES_PATH to the location
of that file.

So, as an alternative to the previous comment here, you can
export FREEDESKTOP_MIME_TYPES_PATH=$(brew --prefix)/Cellar/shared-mime-info/2.1/share/shared-mime-info/packages/freedesktop.org.xml

Ruby 3.2.2
Rails 6.1.7.6

Downgraded mimemagic to 0.3.8 and the issue was fixed.

gem 'mimemagic', '0.3.8'

I had the same issue, I have the following in my project:

• Ruby 2.7.1
• Rails 6.0.4
• MacBook Pro Apple M3 with macOs Sonoma 14.3
  I fixed with brew install shared-mime-info and then bundle install
