ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Question

My system has:

• ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24) [x64-mingw32]
• gem -version 2.2.2
• devKit : DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe

Answer 1

I got this error while installing Jekyll on Linux (Mint 17, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04).

I eventually found the solution here. I needed both the ruby-dev package and nodejs (the latter due to a bug in Jekyll).

sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev make
sudo gem install jekyll --no-rdoc --no-ri
sudo apt-get install nodejs
