hi, can you attach the contents of the log file?

I saw a similar error while trying to backport chefdk to CentOS 5 for a legacy host to use ruby-2.5.1. It disappeared when compiling ruby-2.4.2 instead, but that left me other problems.

[jadrevenge]

what happens when you run the "configure" script manually in the directory that the ruby is extracted to?

rvm install "ruby-2.6.3" --with-out-ext=fiddle
Resolved same issue with the above commands
