Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Error Message:

  Set the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH or
  OCI_DIR to point to the Instant client directory.

  If DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is set, the environment
  variable must be set at runtime also.

  If OCI_DIR is set, dependent shared library paths are checked. If the checking
  is passed, ruby-oci8 works without DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.

  Note: OCI_DIR should be absolute path.
  Note: DYLD_* environment variables are unavailable for security reasons on OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

Any idea how to resolved it?

You need to perform almost the same steps as provided here https://stackoverflow.com/a/21443313/4439981 instead of 8.

Replace DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH with OCI_DIR

OCI_DIR=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 export OCI_DIR

Fews days back , i was also got same error.. try so many think and finally got solution was very simple .

El Capitan ships with a new OS X feature: System Integrity Protection (SIP), also known as “rootless” mode. This reduces the attack surface for malware. This was main reason which makes unable to set "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH". So solution was disable this feature to ins

Follow these steps to disable SIP:

Restart your Mac.
Before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
From the  menu, select Restart.

From the Utilities menu in Recovery select Terminal. Terminal view Use the Terminal in Recovery to enter the SIP-disabling command.
