We recently upgraded one of our app to Ruby 2.2.2

Bundle installed failed ...... crying about well known issue of Error installing gem with native extension, but this time for Gem json -v 1.8.3

Detailed error shows

Fetching: json-1.8.3.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing json:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/json-1.8.3 for inspection.

If you read the issue and log closely, you'll notice it says cannot find -lgmp.
You can see that the linker can't find gmp library or its missing on the server / machine on which you are bundling.

The machine on which I tried this is Ubuntu. So I tried to search gmp library first using command

apt-cache search gmp

This results in few records as ...

> libgmp-dev - Multiprecision arithmetic library developers tools
> libgmp10 - Multiprecision arithmetic library libgmp10-doc -
> Multiprecision arithmetic library example code libgmp3-dev -
> Multiprecision arithmetic library developers tools libgmpxx4ldbl -
> Multiprecision arithmetic library (C++ bindings) libhogweed2 - low
> level cryptographic library (public-key cryptos) libnettle4 - low
> level cryptographic library (symmetric and one-way cryptos)

Now we just need to check if the development package is installed or not for gmp library. Use command

dpkg -l | grep gmp

This results in few records as ...

> ii  libgmp10:amd64                        2:5.1.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1       amd64        Multiprecision arithmetic library
> ii  libgmpxx4ldbl:amd64               2:5.1.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1    amd64       Multiprecision arithmetic library (C++ bindings)

If dev packages are not in the list, install them with following command

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev libgmp3-dev

After that just run bundle install or gem install json again and it should work now.
