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.

Was it helpful?

Solution 3

You don't need to use gem to install ruby-augeas on Ubuntu, it's packaged, so just use:

sudo apt-get install libaugeas-ruby

If you want up-to-date versions of Augeas and ruby-augeas, you can use my PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:raphink/augeas
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libaugeas-ruby

OTHER TIPS

On Ubuntu 12.04. I fixed it with:

$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config

As per following reply: http://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2009-August/msg00061.html

augeas-devel not installed (RuntimeError)

You should install it :

sudo apt-get install libaugeas-dev

you could try gem install ruby-augeas --pre
