Answer 1

Make sure you also have the build-essential package installed. You can check using

dpkg -l | grep build-essential

or simply install it without checking

sudo apt-get install build-essential

For me on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, after making sure build-essential is installed, the bundle install command works/builds fine also with Ruby 1.9.3.
