Description
This likely happens when the user doesn't have development tools installed (such as xcode command line tools on darwin). I'm not sure if we actually do want to do anything besides making sure the log is displayed. We might consider MAYBE suggesting the solution to the user, but it kind of verges into teaching users how to set up their ruby development environment territory.
