You need the C compiler to compile gems that have C code which is pretty common. If you wish you can use JRuby and you don't need a C compiler.

- smacktoward 15y agoSo to work in Ruby I either need a C compiler or a JVM? Is Ruby really so slow that you can't do "Hello World" in Rails without leaping into a faster environment?
- jshen 15y agoNo, you can do hello world without a C compiler assuming you installed ruby from somewhere. If you want to use JRuby you will need a jvm for it to run on, this is the same as any JVM language.
