Thanks for your reporting. Could you tell me about your environment?

ruby -v
uname -a

Some plugins depend on the native extension library. It means that you need to install development packages to build

install the below packages on the system
gcc, make, autoconf

[codeout]

Right. A problem here is that it can't be done by bundle install.

Another option is to ship pre-compiled native gems like this. It should be better but need some time to prepare CI environment. Meanwhile, I'll update the "Install" section of README.

I'm done updating README. Added installation hints about ruby-dev ( ruby-devel ) and build tools.
