Ruby is provided by MacOSX.
ruby.h is provided by XCode's command line interface (xcode-select)
json is one of the most common gems

If your system can't install the json gem, it is unlikely that you
will be able to run many Ruby applications, and certainly can't run
whimsy.

My experience is that reinstalling xcode-select is sometimes
necessary, but solves the problem.  Unfortunately, this hasn't worked
for you.

Alternatives include containers and VMs, and at the present time there
only are up to date instructions for getting set up with Docker.

P.S.  I don't see these problems with node, which is NOT provided with
Mac OSX.  But a rewrite of the workbench application to another
language is a non-trivial effort.
