I have clean new Rails 4 app with Gemfile:

#default gems
gem 'compass-rails'
gem 'zurb-foundation'
gem 'thin'

with style.scss:

@import "compass";
@import "foundation/variables";
$red: rgb(255,0,1);
$green: rgb(51,153,50);
$body-bg: #F4F4F4;
$body-font-color: #7B7B7B;
$primary-color: #999;
$secondary-color: #0CC;
$dark-color: #393939;
$block-container-border-color: rgb(218,218,218);
$block-container-shadow-color: rgb(208,208,208);
// main background
html{
  background:image-url('bckg.jpg');
}
body{
  width:1000px;
  margin:0 auto;
  @include box-shadow(0px 0px 32px -5px #000);
}

And I have this error:

Is Rails 4 not currently supported by compass-rails?

Compass needs to have some key parts rewritten in order to support Rails 4. There is a temporary branch you can use that has hacked together some support:

'gem "compass-rails", github: "milgner/compass-rails", ref: "1749c06f15dc4b058427e7969810457213647fb8"

You can follow https://github.com/Compass/compass-rails/pull/59 for the latest updates.

Update:

There is now a version in alpha.

gem "compass-rails", "~> 2.0.alpha.0"

Update 2: compass-rails is no longer in alpha.

Add the following to your Gemfile and type bundle install.

gem "compass-rails", "~> 1.1.2"
