I am trying to get Rails working on a Windows system. I installed RubyInstaller and the Devkit, but I cannot seem to get the json gem to install. When I try gem install json I get:

It could be my Ruby versions (I have both 2.2 and 1.9), but I do not know. What is going on?
After #Azolo posted his comment, I discovered that the DevKit version I was using did not match the Ruby version I was running. The problem came to be because I needed Ruby 1.9.3 on the path for the Heroku client to function, but was trying to use 2.2 DevKit (as I typically use Ruby 2.2 for development.

So I'm trying to Install Rails with this guide:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
And I keep getting this error (below).
Any suggestion?
I'm working on the cmd (windows 8).

I'm typing: ruby -v
And then I get: ruby 2.4.3p205 (2017-12-14 revision 61247) [x64-mingw32]

I just had exactly the same problem with websocket-driver native extension (Windows 10) with exact the same error message:

ed by `websocket_mask.o'. Stop.

The solution in my case was to pay attention during "MSYS2-Devkit" installation to chose the option "3" (MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain)
After that "bundle install" in my case installed and compiled all dependencies of a rails project
Try using rvm using Cygwin. It should help solve ruby version issues.

I have already tried installing ruby and the development kit 3 times (with different ruby versions)
I keep getting the same error.
I have tried the solution in the question above.

I have tried to reinstall ruby with different ruby version (the newest one)
as well as installing both of the x86 versions of ruby and the development kit which did nothing for me.
This is not a direct answer because I've not had an issue with JSON before; I'll tell you about the error itself though - just so you know what's going on.
Whenever you install a gem on your system, it needs certain files to run.
Most gems have all the files they need, but some need extra ones. mysql2,rmagick and nokogiri are some of these.
The gems which need extra files have to load "dependencies" from your system to help them install properly. They then compile the extra files with a c compiler. This is what building native extensions means.
When you install any gem, Ruby looks in ext/extconf.rb to see how to compile the extra files. This extconf.rb has compiler code which relies on the dependencies you add. This is why the error always says extconf.rb failed
--
You need a valid C compiler (DevKit includes gcc) and a make program (I believe Devkit includes nmake). Running extconf.rb with Ruby should use the gcc compiler in your PATH to create a Makefile. Running make on the Makefile will then build the gem's extra dependencies:
--
The most common form of this error is for mysql2:
The fix is to include the dependencies on your system, link to it and then install the gem again. EG:
gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir="c:/path/to/mysql"
JSON
It seems that JSON just has C headers which need to be compiled.
In this case, I would strongly recommend finding a new compiler & using it instead of Devkit. It might not work, but I think your JSON needs to be compiled rather than have extra dependencies.
We use MingW for compiling things in Windows.
Good ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33593870/1143732
You can download our MingW64 here, or download it yourself.
Install it & add it to your PATH. It will take the place of Devkit; its more robust for compiling gems.
Once you've done it, go to your ruby\lib\ruby\gems\[version]\json...\ext
Type ruby extconf.rb and see what happens. If it build a Makefile, type make and then make install
If not, post back what you found and we'll see if it gets fixed
While I am trying to create the new rails project, I face to error that is related to the lack of json gem.

If you want to install Ruby 2 (or greater) on Windows 7 (64 bit), you need to install DevKit 64 bit as well. Your Devkit has to be compatible with your operating system.
So, make sure you installed the correct Ruby and the compatible Devkit on your system.
See this tutorial for more information.
There was a group of gems which are dependent together. So, I had to install step by step.
As I did it based on error messages and one by one, I forgot to make a note about the steps.

What am I missing here.??
I think rvm might be trying to use gcc 4.6, which doesn't work properly with rvm. I believe you can:
Uninstall gcc 4.6 (brew rm gcc46)
Pull the latest rvm (rvm get stable)
Retry gem install rails

Not sure what else is wrong?
Looks the same as the issue being discussed here.
Apparently, there is a problem with Ruby 1.9.3 and newer RubyGems versions on Windows machines. Their quick-fix solution was to downgrade to an earlier version of RubyGems.
gem update --system 1.8.29
Once you have done that, confirm that gems -v returns 1.8.29 and try your command again.
Otherwise, you can upgrade to Ruby 2.X, which should also resolve this problem.
