So RocksDB.so is in RocksDB/ not in rocksdb/, perhaps you should put it in rocksdb/. Not all systems have case insensitive filenames.

I had same issue and like you say moving from ext/RocksDB/RocksDB.so into ext/rocksdb/RocksDB.so fixed it

[jtippett]

similar issue. Ludicrous workaround in my Dockerfile was

RUN bundle install
RUN cp /usr/local/bundle/gems/rocksdb-ruby-1.0.4/ext/RocksDB/* /usr/local/bundle/gems/rocksdb-ruby-1.0.4/ext/rocksdb
