When I try to install bson_ext I get this (details of my configuration are below): $ sudo gem install bson_ext Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing bson_ext: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb checking for asprintf()... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.
