libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

/home/gauthier/.gem/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.2.0/clocale-0.0.4/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /home/gauthier/.gem/gems/clocale-0.0.4 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/gauthier/.gem/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.2.0/clocale-0.0.4/gem_make.out

And when i go to the mkmf.log the error is : collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Any idea what collect2 is and how to solve this problem ?

collect2 is part of the C compiler toolchain. And ld is the linker. So the linker failed for some reason, there should be a message about the cause. You're probably missing some library...
