An error occurred while installing rugged - ruby-on-rails

Question

Following this tutorial [link] to install gitlab on a dedicated server. I need to :
sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws
But an error occurred while installing rugged :
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for cmake... no
ERROR: CMake is required to build Rugged.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=/usr/local/bin/ruby
Gem files will remain installed in /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/rugged-0.21.2 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/rugged-0.21.2/ext/rugged/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing rugged (0.21.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install rugged -v '0.21.2'` succeeds before bundling.
So I installed rugged -> I installed CMake & config-pkg :
/home/git/gitlab$ sudo gem install rugged
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed rugged-0.21.2
Parsing documentation for rugged-0.21.2
unable to convert "\xC0" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/rugged/rugged.so, skipping

But it doesnt change anything :
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/rugged-0.21.2/LICENSE
An error occurred while installing rugged (0.21.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install rugged -v '0.21.2'` succeeds before bundling.
Any idea ?

Answer 1

For OSX if you're using homebrew:
brew install cmake
bundle install

Answer 2

First, try installing cmake:
sudo apt-get install cmake
Then, repeat the command:
sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws

Answer 3

For me, gem was complaining about pkg-config missing dependence, so I did:
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
and then
sudo gem install rugged -v '0.22.2'
after that, I revert to my older version of gitlab and re-run the script for the upgrade.
My older version of gitlab was 6.9.2 and the upgraded version 8.0.5

Answer 4

Can fix this problem only that way:
download from https://cmake.org/download/. Extract the downloaded tar file and then:
cd $CMAKE_DOWNLOAD_PATH
./configure
make
make install
And after this steps I could successfully run:
gem install rugged -v '0.26.0'

Answer 5

Note: The above mentioned solutions did not work for me.
Here is the error log I got
checking for gmake... no
checking for make... yes
Building Rugged using system libraries.
libgit2 version is not compatible, expected ~> 0.99.0
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

It was mainly saying libgit2 version is not compatible, expected ~> 0.99.0
and I tried gem install rugged -v '0.99.0' and then bundle install.
then the problem is solved.

For me it was Openssl problem in a WSL ubuntu 20.04 env
