I also have Ubuntu 14.04 and I got to make it work. Sharing what I did just in case it works for you.

I patched the file ext/readline/readline.c replacing line 1886:

rl_pre_input_hook = (Function *)readline_pre_input_hook;

With

rl_pre_input_hook = (rl_hook_func_t *)readline_pre_input_hook;

Then I tried to make it again and it worked.

I also ran into this issue trying to install ruby-2.0.0-p247 with rbenv. Save some time by using this patch.

You can run it like this:

curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/ference/d3d4cbbe18309a91ad9b/raw/267ea89fa145c536967831e1af4dea030297b53e/ruby-2.0.0-p247.patch | rbenv install --patch 2.0.0-p247

This is my solution on Ubuntu 14.04 Server edition.

I need to install underline

sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev

Then, the problem was fixed.

Found a solution from https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues/690. What actually missing is libffi-dev. I tried on Ubuntu 12.04 and it is successful.

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
