# gem install passenger
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing passenger:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install passenger
extconf.rb:8:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
from extconf.rb:8Since the machine is a VPS I like to try and keep the number of unnecessary packages down to a minimum. It turns out the only extra package I needed to install was ruby1.8-dev.
After Passenger built successfully, I had to add /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin into my $PATH and run passenger-install-apache2-module (which contained cushy step-by-step instructions from that point on).

John Ferlito put together some up to date Passenger debs for Hardy => Jaunty, and has published them in his Launchpad PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~johnf-inodes/+archive/mod-passenger
I'd recommend using them over the RubyGems distribution.
more recently, ubuntu 10.10, apt-get install ruby-dev worked for me
Yup......its works for me too...Thanks mate!!
