I cannot express my abject frustration at times with the Ruby ecosystem in general and bundler in particular. When you hit this bug:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/gems/json-1.8.1 for inspection.

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.1'` succeeds before bundling.

I've hit this error, I suspect, a few hundred times and I always forget the solution. And I'm not the only one. Dv and I hit this together today and we shot about 20 minutes today to need this:

gem install json -v1.8.3

Thank you Stack Overflow for this answer. Even if it was buried so deep in the thread that I almost missed it.
