无法在MAC OS上安装RUBY Gem Twitter

Question

I have a problem trying to install the gem twitter on MAC OS.

I input the command sudo gem install twitter

and got the following result :

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

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I already tried stuff from around the net (installed XCode command line tools, re-installed Ruby and rvm...) and I'm all out of ideas/solutions/places to search...

Could you please help me ?

Thanks guys :)

Looks like make is trying to load things from the default ruby: /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/make-0.3.1/bin/make (LoadError) rather than from your rvm-installed ruby. I'd try installing the make gem with gem install make to see if that resolves your issue.

You could also check your GEM_PATH environment variable to make sure that local gems aren't being used before the gems installed for your rvm ruby.
