Failed sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

In my react native app, I tried to install ffi using "sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi" but it's always failed and return following error.

ERROR:  Error installing ffi:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.
