As Shay has already pointed out, you get this error when the gem that you are trying to install depends on some native code. > Is there something I can do to workaround the problem? You can install json_pure which is the pure-Ruby variant of the C extension and works pretty well with IronRuby (it's just slower... well, way slower when parsing big json strings). Alternatively you can try my port [1] to IronRuby of the json/ext library. The port is pretty much complete and it is compatible with json 1.1. It passes the whole test suite except for one assertion defined in test_json_unicode.rb [2]. Right now I'm in the middle of a complete revamp of the source code after a few months of hiatus (fixing sloppy code here and there and getting rid of awful nasty hacks needed to work around a few bugs in IronRuby pre-1.0), then I will bump the compatibility to json 1.4.
