Error when running 'foreman start'

[m-bodmer]

When pulling down a fresh issue from Github, I run bundle install without any errors, but when running foreman start I get the following error message:

I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2, and have previously installed Jekyll for another project.

Solution to this was that I had to independently run bundle exec jekyll build --watch before running foreman start for the first time. The problem here is that when trying to run foreman start doesn't actually run the jekyll task command. If I run bundle exec jekyll build --watch independent of foreman, it works as desired.

I think that this is because foreman spawns each program at the same time and no in parallel. The build process takes quite some time.

If you run a jekyll build the first time subsequent foreman start will work. Perhaps a rake task and a note in the README would help.
