Error Installing gem `ruby2d` on Ubuntu 14.04

I am getting following error while try to install ruby2d gem on my Ubuntu 14.04

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby2d:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /home/rishi/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/ruby2d-0.2.0 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/rishi/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.2.0/ruby2d-0.2.0/gem_make.out

It would be great if anyone can give me some suggestions!

P.S. I had successfully installed simple2d gem in my machine by follow all the steps given over simple2d GitHub Page

Thanks in advance :)

With the help of these two answers, you should be able to force gcc to switch to the C99 mode by setting the cflags upon gem compilation:

gem install ruby2d -- --with-cflags=\"-std=c99\"

or if you use bundler, configure the gem compilation before running bundle install:

bundle config build.ruby2d --with-cflags=\"-std=c99\"
