Hi.
Did you have a look at the /home/deiku/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.2.0/extensions/x86_64-cygwin/3.2.0/clocale-0.0.4/mkmf.log
file to see what's going wrong?
As it said, you need to install development tools first, ie. you need a C compiler and make installed. If I am not mistaken you can install these things with the apt
tool in MSYS2...

This is what you want:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
