Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,
reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually
caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
issues. The error from Bundler is:

probably you need to install ruby-devel

It is working fine. Thank you

Hi, I see a similar error trace in Ubuntu 18.10 when I try to install the vagrant-libvirt plugin. In my case, adding the ruby-dev package does not resolve this error.

[donhluca]

I 've tried: sudo apt install libvirt-dev first, then: vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
The plugin installed successfully. My vagrant version is 2.2.5.

@mcandre ruby-dev will only help if using the distros provided package of vagrant, as otherwise a downloaded version will use the ruby embedded within vagrant and ignore the distro provided ruby-dev package. The vagrant provided ruby should have all the header files required in any case.

Issue resolved after this package

yum install libvirt-devel

Issue resolved on deb machine with package libvirt-dev

apt install libvirt-dev
