安装compass时出现ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension...... -- mkmf (Load Error)解决办法

compass是一个css样式框架。通过ruby gem可以安装它。
[sudo] gem install compass

在安装时出现问题如下：

    Fetching: sass-3.4.0.gem (100%)
    Fetching: multi_json-1.10.1.gem (100%)
    Fetching: compass-core-1.0.1.gem (100%)

    Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

查了一下解决办法，上面找不到的文件mkmf是ruby1.9.1-dev包的一部分，所以把它安装上就好。
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
接下来立即重试安装compass，成功。
