I am a newcomer to Fedora and Rails and do not know how to solve this problem. Here is the error message:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rails:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

  /usr/local/lib64/gems/ruby/nokogiri-1.6.7.2/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/share/gems/gems/nokogiri-1.6.7.2 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/lib64/gems/ruby/nokogiri-1.6.7.2/gem_make.out
