ERROR installing Jekyll: Failed to build gem native extension

[judytime]

I am having some difficulty installing jekyll.
I have version:

 gem v2.5.2
 ruby v2.3.3

I am trying to run sudo gem install jekyll

The error I am receiving is

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

I have tried to run the development packages

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev

sudo yum ruby-devel

errors

sudo: apt-get: command not found

sudo: yum: command not found

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!

Which OS are you using ?
(I see you've tried both ubuntu and fedora command lines to install the ruby dev tools)

[judytime]

Hello! Thanks for the quick reply. I have a macOS 10.13.3 (17D102).

Ok, then it might be that you haven't the xcode commandline tools installed, it's like Apple dev tool box.
You can either download it from the appstore or run:

xcode-select --install

Let me know if that work.

You are amazing, thank you! Sucessfully installed jekyll 3.7.3

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi what did you run?

Di you try #1 solutions?

[geoffreyhale]

Yes, of course :). The proposed solutions didn't work in my case.

I solved the problem some other way. Unfortunately, I didn't document the solution or share here and it was a few days ago and I've forgotten already.

Can disregard, thank you.
