How to install taglib-ruby on production

Question

I want to install taglib-ruby on my production system. I tried the following steps:

git clone [email protected]:taglib/taglib.git
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 
make
sudo make install

When I run the make step, I get the following error:

Answer 1

If you run

dpkg -L libc6-dev | grep types.h

you will find that types.h is part of libc6-dev package so you have a couple of options:

1. update your system packages
2. Install a second version of your GCC and libs, follow this answer he has a very good explanation.
