Hi,
I am getting errors in compiling. Here's the log - http://paste.ubuntu.com/16873263/

  Error is the same regardless of versions from 2.2, 2.3, 2.4.I tried through rbenv, direct compile etc. as well. I have installed all dependencies. 

 It looks like an issue with Include path for headers. 

Thank you in advance
Sayee

Here are the errors:

compiling error.c

apt-get install —reinstall libc6-dev fixed the issue.
