Can't install json with gem
I have tried following command in terminal (OSX 10.6.6) and end up with an error. Does anyone know how to solve this?

You will need to install XCode. It is available on the AppStore
If XCode is installed and you are still getting this error, maybe you should try using rvm
The reason you're getting this error is because the json gem includes C/C++ extensions that need to be compiled on your machine before they can run.
Just installing XCode won't fix it, you need to specifically install the XCode Command Line Tools. It's a compiler/linker toolchain including C/C++ compilers, make, etc.
There's an option to install them within a menu inside the XCode GUI, see this thread for details:
Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools
You should be able to get the necessary tools installed by running:
> xcode-select --install
