I am using ruby 1.9.3 and I need to update Rails version or need to reinstall the latest version but in vain.
I've tried to install rails (sudo gem install rails
), showing:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rails:
ERROR: **Failed to build gem native extension**.

Where to go from here? I am not able to remove rails because of installing rails with sudo command.
1.9.1
instead.
