Hi Kurt, Thanks for the fast response.
I am using a system based on ubuntu 14.04 and I found a package called ruby1.9.1-dev listed on the synaptic package manager. I tried to mark this package for installation and there was a message: Warning: NOT AUTHENTICATED. Should I go ahead and install the package anyway or is there a risk that this may damage the system? Another alternative would be for somebody to put the constructed fricas deb package on a website link and for interested users to download it from there.

I've tried on several machines and while the install properly works on some, it goes wrong on others. Since all those were it didn't work are missing ruby2.3-dev I guess that sudo apt install ruby2.3-dev might solve the problem (it did for me actually).
