Not able to install some gems after mountain lion upgrade

Question

I just updated my Macbook to Mountain Lion, but now I\'m not able to install some gems, because of the below error about headers. I looked around and it seems to have to do

Answer 1

I was able to get things working by just installing "Command Line Tools 10.8 for Xcode - Late July 2012" (not XCode itself) from:

• https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action

  (Follow the "View all downloads" link from the Mac Dev Center page)

FYI, I did not have XCode installed on Lion, just the "Command Line Tools". Not sure if the new XCode command line tools will play nice with the old XCode.

Answer 2

Be sure to install Xcode's Command-Line Tools.

This hint helped me with this issue:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
