Answer 1

install gcc first

in *buntu : apt-get install gcc

after that U may requer most dev libs, such as libxml2 / zlib / etc. see build log(path in my case) : /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.3.0/nokogiri-1.6.8.1/mkmf.log for string like - fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

Answer 2

On Ubuntu, try installing the following dependencies:

sudo apt-get install gcc ruby-dev libxslt-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev

Answer 3

Since the OP was referencing bundle install which I happened to use as well I think it is worth pointing out the Installing Nokogiri page which eventually revealed the most elegant solution (which worked for me also on Mac OS X 10.8.5):

bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
bundle install

This instructs bundler to install nokogiri as in the answers of @kasperite

Answer 4

I had the same issue earlier today. I had updated my xcode and had not agreed to the terms yet. Running sudo xcodebuild -license and agreeing got my bundle working again.

Answer 5

As per the nokogiri installation instruction installing,

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

solved the issue for me.

Answer 6

This works like a charm!

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries=true --with-xml2-include=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include/libxml2
