I can't install Rails. I followed this tutorial from RyanBigg, and downloaded a lot of dev tools. ruby-dev and build essential are installed and up to date.
This is basically the answer i found on stackoverflow : install development tools. It looks like a classic problem, but no classic solution seems to fix it.
This question and this other one are related to the exact same problem, and no one leads to a solution.
I'm currently moving my work from Archlinux to Ubuntu 12.04. I'm learning web developement with Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0. I'm using rvm 1.25.15.
gem install rails -v 4.0.2
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rails:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

The solution proposed by mhartl here (basically: use rubygem 2.0.3) don't work better.
This is the output of gem env

I found interesting the result of locate mkmf, but what i found there is clearly out of my range technicaly.

I tryed the installation process of this RailsApp tutorial. Under the section "RVM’s Global Gemset", using the initial global gemset, the gem update command return 3 errors : bigdecimal, json and psych. First and last errors messages are quite the same, but the json one is much more interesting. Or seems like, I don't really get it.
