Unable to install native extensions on digitalocean

When i use the command bundle install on in terminal (whilst i'm connected to digital oceans server) I keep getting this error.

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

current directory: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/gems/json-1.8.3/ext/json/ext/generator

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/gems/json-1.8.3 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/json-1.8.3/gem_make.out

and this is for most of the gems however their all slightly different, but all of them say "Failed to build gem native extension". I've looked everywhere and i'm not entirely sure of what's going on.

I am assuming that the error occurred in json-1.8.3 gem and thus try 

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

and then again bundle install and see if it is fixed.
