Hello,

What do these errors mean?

[root@localhost config]# gem install bluecloth
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing bluecloth:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
can't find header files for ruby.


Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bluecloth-2.0.7 for 
inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bluecloth-2.0.7/ext/gem_make.out
[root@localhost config]#

And this

[root@localhost config]# gem install chronic

parenthesize argument(s) for future version
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DocumentError)
    ERROR: RDoc documentation generator not installed: no such file to load -- irb/slex
[root@localhost config]#

I have installed rdocs using "yum install ruby-rdocs". But I don't understand what this error means
