Mavericks: Capybara Firefox and Chrome crashes with "Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart" error

Question

When running Rspec using Capybara I keep getting this error:

Dyld Error Message:
  Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
  Expected in: /Applications/rubystack-2.0.0-12/*/libJPEG.dylib
 in /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO

I'm running under RubyStack 2.0.0-12, and have been trying to link the libraries from Mac OS X itself without luck.

If I run /Applications/rubystack-2.0.0-12/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/capybara-webkit-1.1.0/bin/webkit_server or /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin manually under the RubyStack rubyconsole, they start up just fine, but as soon as I use Rspec to run the browsers they crash.

Any ideas what to do?

Lesson learned, don't use RubyStack or other one click installers. Just use RVM and how it is meant to be. It is working just fine after I decided to just go for system ruby.
