Hello,

I have the system environment as:

ruby -v

ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22) [x86_64-linux]

gem -v

cat /etc/issue

Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l

I can’t get success to install Thrift (thrift-0.9.0) on the host, when
“make install” I always got:

IIRC, Debian has different packaging philosophies, and disables Rubygems
so
that you will use their package manager to install specific versions of
gems that they’ve vetted (the Ruby community moves very fast, but the
Debian team is concerned with stability).

I believe to get around this, most people build their own Ruby or use a
version manager
