安装jekyll会返回错误（无法构建gem本机扩展。）

Question

I have a fresh install of fedora. I installed ruby , ruby-devel and gone through jekyll troubleshooting on their website but i still get the same error. I tried installing another gem which is Sass , just to make sure its not a ruby issue and it successfully installed.

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

PS: I have ruby 2.2.5p319 (2016-04-26 revision 54774) [x86_64-linux] and gem 2.6.4 and ruby-devel-2.2.5-48.fc23.x86_64

Answer 1

With CentOS 6 & 7 you can encounter the same issue, even if you have installed ruby && ruby-devel.

To solve this, install gcc & make.

Answer 2

I solved the issue by installing RVM. it automatically installed Ruby 2.3.0 and then i tried gem install jekyll, and it installed successfully.
