Kyoto Cabinet install via rubygems fails

Question

I am trying to install Kyoto Cabinet via ruby gems. I am putting inside the Gemfile

gem "kyotocabinet", "~> 1.0"

as opposed here but when I run bundle it fails with

setting variables ...
$CFLAGS = -I. -I/usr/local/include -Wall $(cflags)  -fPIC -O2
$LDFLAGS = -L.  -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic -L. -L/usr/local/lib
$libs =  -lkyotocabinet -lz -lstdc++ -lrt -lpthread -lm -lc
checking for kccommon.h... yes
creating Makefile

make

If anyone knows a way to bypass this error please help! I am using Ubuntu 10.10 FYI.

Thanks a lot for any help!

Try using the gem "kyotocabinet-ruby" instead.

This still seems to fail on my machine. Is there a new gem? – doomspork Dec 05 '11 at 22:57
See my answer below: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17788108/407213 (you need the `libkyotocabinet-dev` package) – Dorian Jul 22 '13 at 12:54

You need to install the libkyotocabinet-dev package:

sudo apt-get install libkyotocabinet-dev

And then you can use kyotocabinet-ruby:

sudo gem install kyotocabinet-ruby

Is there a way to do this without relying on debian packages? Can header files be installed any other way? – Doug F Jan 08 '14 at 22:36
To be fair, I think you should not use this gem, it's not maintained anymore: last update in August 2011 (see http://rubygems.org/gems/kyotocabinet-ruby) – Dorian Jan 08 '14 at 23:52
