I've setup a rails app but when I do bundle install I get an error:
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing curb (0.8.5), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install curb -v '0.8.5'
succeeds before bundling.
So I did
gem install curb -v '0.8.5
But I keep getting this error:
ERROR: Error installing curb:

I then google the error and got this which then led me to this
When I do ls -ladg curb-* in my gem home directory(~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1)I get the following error
ls: cannot access curb-*: No such file or directory
Please advice on how to fix gem install curb
Try installing libcurl4-openssl-dev
and then installing again curb (give it a try with sudo
as well if that fails again)
