MDV depends on the gir_ffi-gtk gem. Additionally, you need to install the WebKit2 Gtk library and its gobject-introspection information. On Debian and Ubuntu, one of the following should work:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0

or

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit2-4.1

On Ubuntu, you may also have to install two additional packages:

sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-dev

or

sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev
