gem install bson_ext
I get the this error:

I am using mongoid in my Rails project. Installing the bson_ext gem, it gives me the above error.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?
Not sure why your make is not using the correct install. But it's easy to do a quick fix:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/install /bin/install
This will link the existing install into /bin and should enable make to continue.
