If I run: sudo gem install colorls
on MacOS terminal, I get the following error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

So...
I've got the same issue after upgrading to MacOS 11 Big Sur:

In my case, since I just updated to MacOS Big Sur, it turns out that I needed to update XCode. After the update finished, I was able to install the colorls gem again (sudo gem install colorls
). Which fixed it for me.
