If you run 'gem env' you'll see something like this:
...
- GEM PATHS:
- /var/lib/gems/1.8
...
Then in that directory you'll see a directory called 'gems' that will
contain the source directories for the various gems. mkmf.log should
be in the directory containing the failing gem. If you look at the
log, there will often be a clue pointing to a missing header file or
library. To fix this, you'll typically have to install some kind of
development library. For example, on Ubuntu, if you're getting
failures installing the ncursesw gem, you'll probably have to install
the libncursesw5-dev package. You can find a list of candidate
packages by doing 'aptitude search ncursesw'.
