Have you tried it without the 'sovren' gem? It doesn't look like 'sovren' is the issue here. I think Rails 4 requires Ruby 2 to run, you may want to try upgrading your Ruby version to fix the issue.—

I started a new rails app my Gem file as below:

ruby '1.9.3'
#ruby-gemset=railstutorial_rails_4_0
gem 'rails', '4.0.0'
gem 'bootstrap-will_paginate', '0.0.6'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.3.2.0'
gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '3.0.1'
gem 'pg', '0.15.1'
gem 'devise'
gem 'sovren'
I am unsure why i get this error

What could be the issue?

I have already tried removing the gem 'sovren' and tried this again and the server seems to start fine. In fact, I also tried it on rails 3.2.13 and I seem to get the same issue. Is there any working example on a rails app somewhere?
