These kinds of errors are usually system compiler errors where your system might not have the correct core c libraries installed. Have a look at this thread for ideas on how you might fix this.

https://github.com/sass/sass/issues/2357

How is Ruby installed? RVM, RBENV, Type this in terminal and give us outputs:

which ruby
ruby -v

Also did you try running sudo gem install sass ?

UPDATE: You may need root access to where the gem is trying to install. See warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777

Also can you post output of echo $PATH ? and also ruby -v and which ruby Hard to see what's going on without that.

I would also recommend you use RVM to install ruby. Not sure if you your linux version comes with pre-installed ruby version, but you can install other Ruby versions with RVM.
