ruby-debug Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers

Question

My Rails is 3.2.1.4, Ruby is 1.9.3p448.

I got an error when I install ruby-debug:

Building native extensions.          


        

Answer 1

I had the issue because gcc wasn't available on my machine.

Fixed it by installing gcc.

sudo apt install build-essential
