Unable to Install Guard
- by Dillmo
I've seen Guard and it's usefulness in web development and would like to install it. Naturally, I expected to be able to use sudo gem install guard to do so (yes, it is a Ruby Gem). However the installation errors out. Here is what I'm getting:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing guard:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks for any help.
