Issue
Hi everyone I'm trying to install curl gem on my Linux mint 14 but I have the following error output in the console:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing curb:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/home/mateusz/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/bin/ruby extconf.rb

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:

Try passing --with-curl-dir or --with-curl-lib and --with-curl-include
options to extconf.
Gem files will remain installed in /home/mateusz/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@rails4/gems/curb-0.8.6 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/mateusz/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@rails4/gems/curb-0.8.6/ext/gem_make.out
I can't find solution for this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: I tried every answer but seems that I have problem with some packages in my system... :

Solution
If you're on linux, install libcurl3-dev library:
apt-get install libcurl3-dev
