Ruby – Can’t Install Curb – Having problems with native extensions.

I'm trying to install the curb gem on my Debian machine but I'm having a hard time building the gem with native extensions. I'm using RVM.

Just a list of things I'm using:

• debian
• bundler
• rvm
• ruby-1.9.2-p180
• curb

I'm told I have to install the following packages and I've done so:

sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4-openssl-dev

When I go ahead and do as such:

gem install curb

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing curb:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

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.

You have to install development tools first.

I don't any way around this, any ideas?
Thanks buds.
