    Sounds like you are missing a native binary. It looks like you are using Linux, it could be openssl that you are missing.

    You can install openssl with sudo apt-get install libssl-dev or the equivalent in your package manager.

    You will find a full trace of what went wrong in your_gem_path/.gems/faye/ext/gem_make.out
