Error Installing Nokogiri 1.6.0 on MAC (Libxml2)

Error installing nokogiri 1.6.0 on mac (libxml2)

I found the answer in another thread. The workaround I used is to tell Nokogiri to use the system libraries instead:

NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 bundle install

Nokogiri installation fails -libxml2 is missing

First, install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

If you still receive the error, you may be missing a compiler toolchain:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

You'll get the "libxml2 is missing" error if you're missing a build toolchain (at least I ran into this issue on Debian Lenny).

The Nokogiri build test-compiles a libxml2 header file to verify that it is present, however, it doesn't differentiate between "libxml2 is missing" and "a compiler to test libxml2 is missing".

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.0), and Bundler cannot continue

I delete the Gemfile.lock, then run bundle install. Everything is ok! :)

I found this log and saw that gcc-4.2 was not found:

To solve this problem I intalled apple-gcc42 using homebrew brew install apple-gcc42 and created a symlink to my /usr/bin :

sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

nokogiri gem installation error

Finally, the problem was caused by nokogiri itself by shipping it's own libxml2 that's incompatible with some systems.

So to install nokogiri I had to tell it that it should use the system libraries.

I installed it manually by:

gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.2.1 -- --use-system-libraries

And it worked well. Other answers didn't solve it.
