error on installing passenger nginx module on ubuntu with ruby 2.0.0 via rvm

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS, ruby 2.0 with RVM

during installation. this error occurs.

checking for alloca.h... *** /home/pastelcorp/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10/ext/ruby/extconf.rb failed ***

It's saying that I must install development tools first. but I already have done sudo apt-get install build-essential

and Here's my mkmf.log file(which I didn't understand at all)

sh: 1: -o: not found
checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include "ruby.h"
2:
3: int main(int argc, char **argv)
4: {
5:   return 0;
6: }
/* end */

Any ideas about this?

Problem solved.

in RVM, I installed ruby2.0.0 with binary, not compiling source.

so I did

rvm remove 2.0.0 and rvm install 2.0.0 ----disable-binary

so ruby 2.0.0 has been compiled from source and passenger compiling works fine.

You have to install development tools first.

Most likely you're missing some libraries just like the error is indicating. I ran into the same thing a couple weeks back. Here is a nice tutorial similar to the one that helped me out.

http://alexpearce.me/2012/06/setting-up-a-vps/

With a little bit of luck, I believe that this line will solve your current issues, but be sure to look over the whole document.

sudo apt-get -y install curl git-core python-software-properties build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline-gplv2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

Also: I've also always had troubles when using rvm and have found that rbenv works with less hiccups, which is actually mentioned in this tutorial.

For databases, if you aren't using postgres then you should be able to just swap out the bits on database for the mysql equivalent libraries.
