Can anyone help on this issue?

If you are following something which installs rails on windows manually you might run into many issues. There is lot of discussion why using ruby on rails on windows is bad idea. But the best way to install ROR on windows is using RailsInstaller.
I would suggest if it is possible you can install Ubuntu on your machine or use Mac. Here are discussions on the topic you might find help full.

therubyracer gem is not installing and libv8 on MAC OS Monterey

I 'm using new MACBook PRO (chip: Apple M2) and trying to set up rails application but therubyracer gem is not installing. I tried below steps but didn't work
brew install v8#3.15
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -- --with-v8-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/v8#3.15
when i tried with 'brew install v8#3.15' it gives below error
Warning: v8#3.15 has been deprecated because it depends on Python 2 to build!
Error: v8#3.15: no bottle available!
If you're feeling brave, you can try to install from source with:
brew install --build-from-source v8#3.15
It is expected behaviour that most formulae will fail to build from source.
It is expected behaviour that Homebrew will be buggy and slow when building from source.
Do not create any issues about failures building from source on Homebrew's GitHub repositories.
Do not create any issues building from source even if you think this message is unrelated.
Any opened issues will be immediately closed without response.
Do not ask for help building from source from MacHomebrew on Twitter.
You may ask for help building from source in Homebrew's discussions but are unlikely to receive a response.
If building from source fails, try to figure out the problem yourself and submit a fix as a pull request.
We will review it but may or may not accept it.
eve after installing v8 as suggested with command 'brew install --build-from-source v8#3.15', therubyracer gem is still not installing,

Any idea how can i resolve this?

zendesk app tools ZAT Installation errorFailed to build gem native extension

ruby version => ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580)
xcode-select => xcode-select version 2384.
macOs : BIg Sur version 11.6.2
any idea what is the issue?
Installation via rvm resolves this issue.
I had the same problem on my Mac Big Sur 11.6 with M1 chip. None of the suggested solutions helps me (I tried to reinstall Xcode, updating/reinstalling command line tools, deal with the installation of thin separately, etc.). One thing that really helps me it's changing the ruby version to 2.6.9 with rbenv (https://gorails.com/setup/osx/11-big-sur - check Installing Ruby . Follow this instruction, but choose another ruby version). After change ruby version, make sure the correct version of ruby is currently selected with ruby -v and then try execute gem install zendesk_apps_tools again. I tried several versions of ruby before it worked for me, but in the end everything was fine on 2.6.9 version

Rails install fails - cause by Nokogiri gem?

I am trying to setup a ruby on rails environment on my mac in order to start using the RubyMine IDE.
I have used homebrew, rbenv and all other required libraries in order to install ruby/rails - however when I sudo gem install rails the install fails due to :

I have tried to install Nokogiri on it's own and I get the following error:

I really hope somebody can help me as I am quite a noob to RonR and I feel like things have gotten messy directory/permission wise,
Thank you.
Let's take a quick look at a small part of the error that you have provided us.
zlib is missing; necessary for building libxml2
It's trying to tell you that you do not have zlib, so let's get it. Since you said you're using a Mac, I would install a package manager like Homebrew. Try doing brew install zlib to install this package.
Additionally, if you're starting out learning Ruby, regardless of what platform you are using, it might be helpful to use something like rbenv or rvm to manage different versions of Ruby and the gems that go along with those versions. You will run into less permissions issues (e.g. having to run gem install as a privileged user), some of which may be easy to solve, but some of which may send you down a rabbit hole for a few hours.

Unable to install Nokogiri with dependencies on Redhat Linux

I am using Ruby 1.9.3 and therefore have to use an older version of Nokogiri. I need to install Nokogiri v1.5.10.
Initially I got an error that libxml2 is missing. After installing libxml2 I got the following error:
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri-1.5.10.gem:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

libxslt is missing. please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

Do I need to install each and every dependency manually?
If so, how do i determine what version to use?
NOTE: The server does not have access to the internet. Therefore, I have to scp rpm or tar files to install.
Unfortunately yes, you will need to install each dependency manually with that version of Nokogiri as I don't believe they packaged the dependencies in until version 1.6.0.rc1.

Failed to build native gem extension sqlite3

I'm trying to install sqlite3-ruby on Cygwin with gem install sqlite3-ruby -v x.x.x and I get the following error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Does anyone know how to install sqlite3 for Ruby on Rails on Cygwin. As I understand it the SQLite RubyGem isn't actually a *Ruby*Gem, it's a "*C*Gem", IOW it's written in C. This means it has to be compiled and linked to the Ruby interpreter when you install it, so any help?
So this isn't a complete solution as I don't have a windows box and cygwin handy but the error message suggests that the linux utility fdatasync can't be found.
The tools linux man page can be found here
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
Maybe find out if you have fdatasync installed correctly and try again.
I ran into this issue just now – the first time I wanted to install a Ruby gem
on my new Cygwin 64-bit system.
As I understand it the SQLite RubyGem isn't actually a RubyGem, it's a
"CGem", IOW it's written in C. This means it has to be compiled and linked
to the Ruby interpreter when you install it.
Cygwin actually provide a pre-compiled package which installs the sqlite3
gem files including the sqlite3_native.so linked library file. The name of
the package is ruby-sqlite3 and you can install it using Cygwin’s Setup.exe.
I personally like to use apt-cyg
when possible (not always) so I installed the package using:
apt-cyg install ruby-sqlite3
This package installs the appropriate gem files as can be seen by running
cygcheck -l ruby-sqlite3:
