I'm trying to install gems to my new Ruby project using bundle install. I've set the version of Ruby using rbenv on my OS X 10.8.4 box. I get the following error:
An error occurred while installing atomic (1.1.13), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install atomic -v '1.1.13'` succeeds before bundling.
Kikime:jazzcatalog curt$ gem install atomic

The first two lines are the end of the output from first attempt. As you can see, I then successfully installed atomic as requested. I then tried again and got the same error. I've seen a few errors with installing atomic, but none like this one. It seems to have a problem with the option -R. Since I didn't enter it in the first place, I don't know where to change it.
Update
I started all over rbenv set to version 2.0.0-p0 and and ran rails new jazz catalog -d mysql. It died at the same place with this error:

SOLVED Sigh - does not handle spaces in path
Answer
I had this problem. It turned out to be caused by installing Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks), since Mavericks has a new stand alone command line tools separate from Xcode. To solve this, I deleted /Applications/Xcode and then installed the stand alone command line tools via:
Note: First line may not be needed, see comments below
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode
xcode-select --install
then click 'install' from the OSX pop up window
