Hello, i have a problem when i generate the rails app. I use the sane version of ruby and rails of the course build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

First you should try

$ sudo gem install json -v '1.8.2'

in my case (Ubuntu 14.04) that didn't work directly and I had to do this:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev

and then I could install the gem and continue. Had one more problem that was fixed by:

$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Hope that helps.
