gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.8.1' fails

Question

Building a new Rails app and getting a problem with nokogiri. Said to try gem install nokogiri -v \'1.6.8.1\' which fails with output below. I tried deleting Gemfil

Answer 1

I tried @the_basterd's recommendation. That didn't work, but the reference was good—thank you the_basterd. What worked from that reference was:

brew install libxml2

bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2

Reference: https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/1483

Later postings at that ref said that what I posted above "is strongly recommended against by the Nokogiri."

brew unlink xz; bundle install; brew link xz is preferred.
