I have installed ruby 1.9.3p327 & rails 3.2.8 using rvm on centos 6.3. But while doing bundle install for a particular project folder, the process fails in between when it tries to install gem unf_ext 0.0.5 and throws following error,

Installing unf_ext (0.0.5) with native extensions Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/home/rradmin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby extconf.rb -fPIC

Gem files will remain installed in /home/rradmin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@r32/gems/unf_ext-0.0.5 for inspection. Results logged to /home/rradmin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@r32/gems/unf_ext-0.0.5/ext/unf_ext/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing unf_ext (0.0.5), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install unf_ext -v '0.0.5' succeeds before bundling.

I also tried to install unf_ext separately as mentioned above, but got the same error. I have referred https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/135, but still not able to solve the problem. Please let me know proper way to solve this problem.

Thank you.

On Ubuntu I only needed to do

sudo apt-get install build-essential

to fix this.

(for the record I'm on a freshly-built Ubuntu 12.10 Server X64)

This error comes when you don't have supporting libraries to compile the gem try to install the following packages 

sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core     zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison

then do a bundle install

  • Thanks Suman. I am using centos 6.3 and i have already used rvmsudo yum install -y gcc-c++ patch readline readline-devel zlib zlib-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel make bzip2 autoconf automake libtool bison iconv-devel for getting the supporting libraries. Still i tried your command using yum but lot of libraries are missing. Does this command differs based on OS ? – Sachin Kadam Dec 12 '12 at 09:22
  • yes it differs you need to find appropriate packages in centos 6.3 try to install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev packages it may fix your problem – yednamus Dec 12 '12 at 10:21

I resolved the issue by installing libstdc++-devel using yum install gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel

Thanks Suman. But I resolved the issue by installing libstdc++-devel using yum install gcc-g++ libstdc++-devel.
