Error trying to install dandelion #167

Closed Ackman303 closed 6 years ago

Ackman303 commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm using linx mint OS.

I installed pkg-config and cmake, and when I try to intall dandelion I get this error:

Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing dandelion: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/rugged-0.26.0/ext/rugged

Could you paste the contents of /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.3.0/rugged-0.26.0/gem_make.out?

Hi,

thanks for your quick response!

yes, the content looks the same I posted in my message:

current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/rugged-0.26.0/ext/rugged /usr/bin/ruby2.3 -r ./siteconf20180227-19395-14khg1o.rb extconf.rb mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/include/ruby.h

extconf failed, exit code 1

Hmm, OK. That's not really enough information for me to understand what is going on- I would have expected more output. Could you try running gem install rugged (a dependency of Dandelion) and paste the entire output?

Ackman303 commented 6 years ago

No worries.

I found the solution, I didn't have the ruby headers installed. I'm pasting here just in case someone need it too:

For Debian, and other distributions using Debian style packaging the ruby development headers are installed by: sudo apt-get install ruby-dev

For Ubuntu the ruby development headers are installed by: sudo apt-get install ruby-all-dev

If you are using a earlier version of ruby (such as 2.2), then you will need to run: sudo apt-get install ruby2.2-dev

(where 2.2 is your desired Ruby version)

Thanks Scott.

Oh, great. Glad you figured it out. I typicall use rbenv to manage Ruby versions and I guess the headers come along with each Ruby install automatically. I'll update the README in case others run into this as well. Thanks a lot!
