So what is your build environment? Which compiler is installed, what version of Linux is this, are you running it inside a VM or anything odd like that? It sounds like you have ruby and rubygems installed fine, but you don't have the compiler or your environment set correctly to build anything that is processor-native. Ruby code per se is cross-platform, since it's an interpreted language. But anything in a gem that needs lower-level access to the hardware will often have to call out to a cross-compiler and create and link some C code or similar. That's where your environment is breaking down, from what I have seen. When you get that part working, you will be in better shape to use gem to install these more "binary" gems.
