You have to install the Ruby DevKit. Depending on your installation of Ruby, you have to select the correct way to install it.

gem install json issue with Mac OS X 10.11

I'm trying to install Ruby/JSON on Mac OS X 10.11.
However, the gem install command gives the error message:

Is this a known issue, or is there a way to bypass this one?
This is my system version. I executed gem update --system to get the latest version.

Native extension error installing JSON gem

I've set up the Brightbox Ruby 2.1.0 apt package and encountering a native compilation error installing json package.
$ sudo gem install json -v '1.8.1'
Fetching: json-1.8.1.gem (100%)

mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/include/ruby.h
extconf failed, exit code 1
I've installed ruby2.0-dev as mentioned here, but it puts the headers in a different folder (/usr/include/ruby-2.0.0/ruby, and copying them to /usr/lib/ruby/include didn't help). Any idea how to install this gem?
I imagine you'll need to install the ruby2.1-dev package, rather than ruby2.0-dev, if you're using Ruby 2.1. I've not used the Brightbox packages though, so I'm only guessing I'm afraid.

However, when I try a
bundle install
I get the error. I am extremely new to ruby and rails, so any help would be appreciated.
