I just got a MacBook Pro (my first Mac!) and couldn’t install many gems. All had native dependencies. All failed similarly:
1 $ sudo gem install god 2 Password: 3 Updating metadata for 1 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org/ 4 . 5 complete 6 Building native extensions. This could take a while... 7 ERROR: Error installing god: 8 ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. 9 10 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install god 11 can't find header files for ruby. 12 13 14 Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/god-0.7.6 for inspection. 15 Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/god-0.7.6/ext/god/gem_make.out
I finally found the solution on the MacRuby Troubleshooting: can’t find header files for ruby page.
Hope this helps someone else.
