I'm having a hard time installing a gem required by my Ruby project (automated tests based on Cucumber and SitePrism but I don't think that's relevant).
The output suggests a problem with native extensions but I do have the devkit installed and have previously used it without any trouble.
$ gem install oily_png -v '1.1.2'
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

But all I can see are warnings and none of them rings a bell to me.
I'm using Windows. Specifically, Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64
After a while of googling, I found this issue on the rubygems Github
One of the suggested solutions is to downgrade rubygems to 2.3 (I had 2.4 installed)
gem update --system 2.3.0
This fixed the problem for me and my bundle completed successfully.
