安装gollum提示Failed to build gem native extension的解决

gollum是GitHub的一个开源Wiki引擎,老蔡准备用来写代码文档,结果安装就出错了。

直接sudo gem install gollum来安装gollum会提示错误

ERROR: Error installing gollum:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

从git://github.com/gollum/gollum.git源码bundle install也会提示

An error occurred while installing github-markdown (0.5.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install github-markdown -v ‘0.5.3’` succeeds before bundling.

解决方法:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

原因分析:

扩展库是需要编译安装,没有dev就找不到ruby的库,所以要安装dev版本的ruby,虽然老蔡的ruby版本是ruby 1.9.3p0,但是安ruby1.9.1-dev也可以解决这个问题,大概是因为两个版本的ruby改动不大吧。

2013-09-22更新:发现在ruby 2.0下,gollum不能正确通过gem安装成功,所以还是安装ruby 1.9版本的为宜。
