I'm currently developing a Rails 7.1.1 application using Ruby 3.2.1, and I've encountered an issue when trying to use the zxing gem for barcode reading functionalities. Despite following the installation and setup instructions, I'm facing errors related to uninitialized extensions, and I can't seem to get the gem working.
Error Message:
I'm encountering a series of "extensions not built" errors when I try to start my Rails server with rails s. The errors mention various gems, including bcrypt, bigdecimal, bootsnap, and others, suggesting to try gem pristine --version for each.
Ignoring bcrypt-3.1.20 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine bcrypt --version 3.1.20
Ignoring bigdecimal-3.1.6 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine bigdecimal --version 3.1.6

Bundler::RubyVersionMismatch: Your Ruby version is 3.1.4, but your Gemfile specified 3.2.1`
require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1175
require at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:85
I've attempted running gem pristine --all but the issues persist. Interestingly, when I remove the zxing gem from my Gemfile, everything works as expected, which leads me to believe the problem might be related to this gem specifically.
I've verified my Ruby version with rbenv versions, ensuring that I'm indeed using Ruby 3.2.1, as specified in my Gemfile.
How can I resolve these errors and successfully start my Rails server? Is there a systematic way to rebuild gem extensions or ensure they're correctly built for my environment? Additionally, does anyone have insights into the issue with the zxing gem and how it might be causing or related to the other gem errors?
