cannot run bundle install without mkmf.rb failure on WSL

Question

I'm trying to run bundle install for a project and I'm getting this message:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native
extension.

current directory:
/home/foo/code/user_app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/puma-3.12.0/ext/puma_http11
/usr/bin/ruby2.3 -r ./siteconf20220226-27414-ivrdnb.rb
extconf.rb
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at
/usr/lib/ruby/include/ruby.h

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in
/home/foo/code/user_app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/puma-3.12.0
for inspection.
