Snorby Setup-RedCloth error

I am trying to install Snorby (obviously) and am continuously running into errors with this same gem. Each time I attempt to do sudo bundle install in the snorby directory, I get the following error:

Installing RedCloth (4.2.9) with native extensions /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:556:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in require': cannot load such file -- mkmf (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:inrequire' from extconf.rb:1:in `'

I have tried everything I have seen and know. I have tried to install a previous version of it. I have tried gem upate. I have tried sudo gem install Redcloth -v . It then tells me the same continuous error. Failed to build gem native extension. Nothing is working. All help is much appreciated!

I found the issue finally! For those of you struggling, search no more. All you have to do is download the dev package by doing:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
