I've tried installing compass and ffi on osx but get the same error. I've reconfigured and reinstalled ruby, I've installed Xcode command line tools, I've rebooted my machine, nothing seems to fix the exact same error every single time. I'm about to wipe my machine and start anew, I have no idea why I can't get past this error when trying gem install compass:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby -r ./siteconf20160508-18749-v694wb.rb extconf.rb
checking for ffi.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***
