gem install stopped working after upgrade to OS X 10.10 Yosemite

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and gem install stopped working.

When I run it, I see this big ugly error:

$  gem install rdiscount
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rdiscount:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    ruby -r ./siteconf.rb extconf.rb
checking for random()... *** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
    --with-opt-dir
    --without-opt-dir
    --with-opt-include
    --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
    --with-opt-lib
    --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
    --with-make-prog
    --without-make-prog
    --srcdir=.
    --curdir
    --ruby=ruby
    --with-rdiscount-dir
    --without-rdiscount-dir
    --with-rdiscount-include
    --without-rdiscount-include=${rdiscount-dir}/include
    --with-rdiscount-lib
    --without-rdiscount-lib=${rdiscount-dir}/

You have to install development tools first.

    from extconf.rb:5:in `<main>'

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in rdiscount-2.1.7.1 for inspection.

When you upgrade to Yosemite Xcode command line tools becomes unavailable.

Run this command, and follow the on screen instructions.

$  xcode-select --install
xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools
