Railsinstaller DevKit on Citrix Windows 2012 R2 Standard issue, unable to install remote or local gems with c dependencies
Adam O
Hi,
At work I am using a Windows 2012 r2 standard server with xen-tools installed on it. I have installed various ruby versions via the one click installer and railsinstaller, but currently have installed:
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) i386-mingw32
Im quite sure that the devkit is correctly installed, but when I run 'gem install json --platform=ruby' I get the following output:
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing json:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Please note that I have read the information from the following group, which is almost identical to my issue:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rubyinstaller/74wmtd0vkWU/l5zAjOiiKIAJ
To which they have not come up with a solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
