Specifically Ubuntu 9.10. Here's the error output, tried on a couple of machines.

$ gem install fig -v 0.1.13

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.

On Ubuntu it turns out you need libarchive-dev

Yeah we switched to using the libarchive library for zip/tar/etc, in order to make things work on windows. Unfortunately that adds an extra dependency on the linux side.
