Any idea what the problem is?
First install Homebrew if you don't have it: https://brew.sh/index_pt-br
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Second, install ruby if you don't have it:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/pt/documentation/installation/
brew install ruby
You can also follow these steps: https://gist.github.com/monicao/d372716cdfbb7e9cf692
Then, close your terminal and reopen it again.
Always use sudo to install cocoapods:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Also, you need to install Xcode's developer tools. The easiest way to do this is through terminal (this question)
xcode-select --install

When I run gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.11', I got the following error:

I noticed the error message said: make: /usr/local/bin/gmkdir: No such file or directory.
I searched this in google and found a similar post but for cocopods: https://coderwall.com/p/ehijxg/fixing-error-installing-cocoapods-on-macos
The following commands solved my problem. If you have a different error message, please refer to http://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html
Homebrew
brew install coreutils
gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.11'
MacPorts
sudo port install coreutils
gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.11'
I had this problem last time and you can try this code:
gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.11 -- --use-system-libraries
I think it will work.
The issue is not directly linked with the nokogiri. It is more around the missing libraries in the system. I am using Mac M1 machine and moving data/libraries from Intel to M1 is a pain. So for me after spending hours I fixed the issue. Steps which I followed to fix library issues are:
Uninstall and install Homebrew
Update the proper PATH in .zshrc or .bachrc file
install the coreutils brew install coreutils
close the terminal and then run the bundle install

You can try with this
sudo apt-get install build-essential
and after it
sudo gem install rails
I'm running Crunchbang 11 (Debian-based).
I'm trying to install Ruby on Rails, like this:
gem install rails --version 4.0.0
I get the error "Failed to build gem native extension".
My ruby is version 2.0.0p247, my RubyGems is 2.0.0.
What's the issue here?

Rails 4.0 needs RubyGem version 2.0.3, Just update your system by using following command
gem update --system 2.0.3
Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev
Then,
sudo gem install rails
Just a follow up ... on different solution...
it may be that you are on a mac and rails cannot find the right compiler for c headers.
just install xcode from apps store / homebrew or go to terminal ...
$ xcode-select --install
complete the installation and agree on the licensing etc, then ...
$ sudo gem install rails
Got the same issue when installing rails with the command
"gem install rails -v 5.1.2" on windows7, solved after installing "MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain" (command ridk install then option 3)..It took a while to finish the installation and then i installed rails without any problem
For me this helped:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
I could solve this way
rvm use ruby --install --default
and then try again.
gem install rails --no-document
This worked for me:
sudo ln -s /bin/mkdir /usr/bin/mkdir
I kept encountering this error when I ran gem install rails -v 5.2.0:
make: /usr/bin/mkdir: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:199: .sitearchdir.-.racc.time] Error 127
make install failed, exit code 2
So I ran this command and it fixed it for me:
sudo ln -s /bin/mkdir /usr/bin/mkdir

Try
sudo gem install rails --version 2.0
to install libraries.
For anyone got the error:"Failed to build gem native extension”, while running sudo gem install rails, and it said somethings about "nokogiri".
It is possible because you are using the same ruby version as system is using (for mac user). The solution would be install RVM, use RVM to install another ruby version.
So now you have 2 Ruby versions on your machine, RVM will automatically switch to the newly installed version. now, you can run gem install rails without error and without sudo as well.
i'm running elementary os 5 and what i do is.
sudo gem update --system
and then try again.
sudo gem install rails
On Fedora 30, I ran into this problem "Failed to build gem native extension". The log error was "gcc: fatal error: cannot read spec file ‘/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1’: No such file or directory". The solution was found here.
If you installed all the above, but the extensions would still not compile, you are probably running a Fedora image that misses redhat-rpm-config package. In that case gcc compiler would complain about one of the following:
gcc: error: conftest.c: No such file or directory
gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory
To solve this, simply run sudo dnf install redhat-rpm-config.
While installing rails 7 when I ran the command
sudo gem install rails
I got the same errors. I tried several suggestions, but in vain. At last one suggestion from the web helped me. I have been asked to run following command :
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
and then try again installing rails. Here is the link to that site : https://askubuntu.com/questions/600068/cant-install-a-ruby-package-failed-to-build-gem-native-extension
It worked !!!
I had the same error when installing rails, but I solved it by running the command: gem install rails without adding sudo.

The error occurs when I try to execute:
gem install json
If I add sudo everything is ok, but I cannot (and shouldn't) use sudo with rvm commands.
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
may fix it .Cheers !
Try running below commands(works for ubuntu 14.04):
$ sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
and then install json
$ gem install json
