How to fix 'Failed to build gem native extension.' for several ruby packages?

I can't install ruby-debug-ide and byebug.

The command:

sudo gem install byebug

Gives me this error:

The command:

sudo gem install ruby-debug-ide

Gives me this error:

And they both give me the same error:

"Failed to build gem native extension."

Are both problems part of the same problem or are they different problems?

Update:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Solved my problem installing byebug

The ruby-debug-ide is still giving me this new error:

Answer 1

sudo gem install rake

sudo gem install ruby-debug-ide

Did the job for ruby-debug-ide.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

and then:

sudo gem install byebug
