I am having problems trying to install new gems. Most notably, recently
I have attempted to install the fcgi and the mysql gems. In both cases,
I get the following error:
can''t find header files for ruby.
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in ..................
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? I have been stuck for a couple
of days, and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi John ~ What platform are you using?

What OS are you on? What reference are you using? I followed the instructions for mac os on apple developer site. There is no problem if you just follow the instructions. Now my Powerbook G4 is a screaming Rails machine. --- "John W." <john.zachary.williams@gmail.com> wrote:> I am having problems trying to install new gems.

After unstalling ruby/gem/rails and then reinstalling everything, It looks like gem is working. Thanks! Bala Paranj wrote:> What OS are you on? What reference are you using?
