I just updated my Macbook to Mountain Lion, but now I'm not able to install some gems, because of the below error about headers. I looked around and it seems to have to do with Ruby headers missing. It was suggested to install Xcode, so I installed the full Xcode from the app store and also the Xcode command line tools. But still no luck. Any suggestions?
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
checking for ffi.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***
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.
Be sure to install Xcode's Command-Line Tools.
This hint helped me with this issue:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
