i was trying to install octopuses, but i got stuck installing RedCloth (http://redcloth.org). I think the problem is the same of this one, but that's the solution for windows and i run OSX (10.8).

  • I am glad. For anyone else running across this entry the specific answer he found was on this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12119138/failed-to-build-gem-native-extension-when-install-redcloth-4-2-9-install-linux – ScottJShea Oct 04 '12 at 23:57

Try installing the ruby1.9.1-dev package from Synaptic, or using apt-get.

In a command prompt:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

and then: if you are using Bundler gem, which I suppose, you can type bundle install to install it, otherwise you can manually install it via gem install RedCloth
