ld: cannot find -lgmp

But then I still clueless why this is happening.

Sure there's must be something missing. But what is it?

Extra Information (if necessary): Windows 10 64-bit, Ruby24

Answer 1

Strangely I ended up installing Ruby version 2.3.x using rubyinstaller.org and it is working wonderfully. It might because I have my DevKit installed improperly (my guess: i'm ridk install and only choose 1).

Anyway I still prefer 2.3 because you just need to download the zipped file to get the DevKit working.
