@MikeW I run Snow Leopard, and it installs just fine for me.

Would you mind sending an email to the mailing list that includes the version of nokogiri you’re trying to install, your “ruby -v”, and also the version of XCode you have installed? We can continue debugging it from there!

Here is a link to the mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/nokogiri-talk

I’m having the same issue as GenFoch after installing Snow Leopard. I’ve even go so far as to try to install lxml2 manaully. I’ve already used port to install libxml2 and libxslt. Every solution I’ve seen says to install libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev, but those are solutions for other linux distros; not OS X. Any way to fix this on a Mac?

Hi, I'm really new to ruby so please bear with me. I have installed ruby and rubygems and other gems I have installed do work. I have been requested to install nokogiri-1.2.3 but I get the following error:

checking for xmlParseDoc() in -lxml2... no libxml2 is missing. try 'port install libxml2' or 'yum install libxml2'

however looking at /usr/lib I see libxml2.a and looking in it I can see DOCBparser which I think contains the xmlParseDoc, so it seems like everything is there.

I have ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i486-linux] on the system and updated to rubygems 1.3.2 in my attempt to solve this issue.

I see there is a message like details. You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options: and a bunch of options but I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks for your time.

Do you mean libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev?

Make sure you also install “libxml2-devel” and “libxslt-devel”
