I'm trying to install the curb gem on my Debian machine but I'm having a hard time building the gem with native extensions. I'm using RVM.
Just a list of things I'm using:
- debian
- bundler
- rvm
- ruby-1.9.2-p180
- curb
I'm told I have to install the following packages and I've done so:
sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4-openssl-dev
When I go ahead and do as such:
gem install curb
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing curb:

You have to install development tools first.

I don't any way around this, any ideas?
Thanks buds.
