Forum: Ruby on Rails Error on installation of Ruby On Rails on QNAP TS809U-RP [Linux]

I am not sure where I should even begin troubleshooting this. I know a
little bit about Linux and am comfortable editing files and running
commands however definitely not a Linux guru. I have ipkg already 
installed
on the QNAP. I know absolutely nothing about ruby on rails. Thanks for 
any
help.
For those that are not familiar with a QNAP, ipkg is the same as apt-get 
or
yum in some Linux distros.  (I have also attempted to build ruby on 
rails
from source and I receive the same error when attempting to install 
rails.
Can someone help?

I run
ipkg install ruby
successful
then ipkg install rubygems
successful
then (as I have read) ipkg install ruby -force_reinstall
successful
then gem install rails (I receive the following error)

[~] # gem install rails

You need to install the development tools.  On Ubuntu this would be
the package build-essential, plus some others.  I don't know whether
it will help but googling for

install ruby rails qnap

found this [1] and others

If possible I suggest that you use rvm to install RoR.
