[Cucumber:4310] Error updating to 0.70, Failed to build gem native extension.

[BillSaysThis]

Running Ruby 1.9.2-head on OSX 10.6.3 under RVM, gem update works fine
for other gems (say Bundler, which was detected as having an update in
the same run) but Cucumber and Cucumber-Rails get this:

Do you have gcc installed? What does gcc --version tell you?

[Bill Lazar]

gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)

Can you install other gems with native extensions, like for example
nokogiri or thin?

No, same. Key seems to be the first error message:

/Users/xxx/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for rb_trap_immediate in ruby.h,rubysig.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.

Your environment seems hosed.

Try reinstalling xcodetools and try again.
If you still can't install native gems try to (re)install ruby with rvm.

You might have better luck troubleshooting this in the ruby or rvm forums.

You are the master! A bunch of reinstalling but all good now.

Thanks.
