#概要
ログを取ろうと、Amazon Linux2でFluentdは入ったものの、fluent-plugin-cloudwatch-logsでインストールに詰まった。原因としてはrubyの開発環境がなかっただけだった話。

#症状
こんなエラーが生じてうまく入らない。

#原因

`Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.`や、`You have to install development tools first.`というメッセージがあることから、rubyの開発環境が足りていないことがわかる。

#雑感
AWSとか普通の環境を触り始めて1か月くらいたってようやくこの手のエラー対応に慣れてきたなぁ、と思いました（遅い）
