Hello everybody.
I’ve found plenty of information related to this problem, but I
can’t solve mine. When I try to install bson_ext I get this (details of
my
configuration are below):
$ sudo gem install bson_ext
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing bson_ext:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

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.
