I got jekyll installed via portage by adding:
dev-ruby/* ~amd64
www-apps/jekyll ~amd64
www-apps/jekyll-* ~amd64
to package.accept_keywords, and then running `emerge www-apps/jekyll'. This is
on stable, with a tree that is a couple weeks old for what it's worth. Then
`jekyll new testsite && bundle exec jekyll serve' works for me.
You could also try using jekyll outside of portage:
mkdir mysite && cd mysite
bundle init
bundle config set path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle add jekyll
bundle exec jekyll new --force .
rm Gemfile.lock
rm -rf ./vendor/bundle
bundle config set path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
And then continue following other jekyll instructions as needed. You'll have to
use `bundle exec jekyll ...' to run jekyll - you won't be able to run jekyll
directly.
Hope this helps,
Alec
