Nokogiri installation fails libxslt is missing - ruby-on-rails

I am sorry but I think I try everything I have seen on the internet to make it works but it always fails :(
I have to work on an old rails project with ruby 2.1.10 and when I bundle update the nokogiri '1.6.3.1' build fail.
It work's well with ruby 2.6.6 and nokogiri-1.10.10
I have install libxml2 and libxsl with homebrew xcode is install and I have read and agreed on the license
I try to install nokogiri link that
gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.3.1' -- --use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=$(brew --prefix libxml2)/include/libxml2 --with-xslt-include=$(brew --prefix libxslt)/include/libxslt
and this is the output

#EDIT#
Nokogiri has a tutorial about installing on MacOS:
https://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html#macos
Can you try the steps in that document?
old information:
as per: libxml2 and libxml2-dev on OSX
brew link --force libxml2
or possibly:
ln -s /usr/local/opt/libxml2/share/aclocal/libxml.m4 /usr/local/share/aclocal/libxml.m4

I see you already have installed libxml2, also try installing libxslt, libxslt-devel and I think there was also a dependency to openssl-devel at some point.

I've checked I have libxml2 installed:
apt-get install libxml2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libxml2 is already the newest version (2.9.3+dfsg1-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
And I saw in other threads to try using the --use-sytem-libraries flag, but that still causes the same error. What am I missing?
Thank you!
In addition to libxml2 and libxslt, you also require some additional development libraries. Install them using sudo apt-get install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev. More at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri.org-tutorials/blob/master/content/installing_nokogiri.md.

I already have this gem installed, but in another version.
C:\wamp\www\holdsport>gem list | grep noko
nokogiri (1.6.2.1 x64-mingw32)
It seems like libxml2 isn't installed but I couldn't find out how install it on windows.
I don't know if the message extconf.rb failed is because the libxml2 is missing or another issue.
Any idea why it doesn't work?
Nokogiri doesn't support x64 ruby 2.0, for whatever reason. Try installing the x86 version of ruby instead.
If gem install nokogiri still doesn't work, install the pre-release with gem install nokogiri --pre.

Trying to install rubber gem, Nokogiri messing it up?

I am trying to install the rubber gem. A couple days ago, I was fooling around with Nokogiri, but couldn't get it properly installed. I forgot about it because it was not pressing. Well now I am trying to install the rubber gem and am getting these errors that confuse me and they seem to be related to Nokogiri, which is not installed to my knowledge. Help me out, thank you.

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.5.2)

When I try to run a ruby on rails project I got an error:
An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.5.2), and bundle cannot continue.
Make sure that 'gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2 succeed before building.
I'm working on Ubuntu 10.10
My co-worker uses on Windows/RVM and does not have this problem.

It should not be necessary to install any additonal package. You can use the libraries includes with BitNami (in /opt/bitnami/common). You just need to load the BitNami environment and specify the path to libxml2 files. While testing this I got similar issue but with libxml2, a similar solution can be applied for the iconv error that you are receiving.

The weird thing is, that the iconv.h is already in the /opt/local/include/ directory.
Can anyone recommend a solution?
thx,

Ok, I solved it on my own.
After a couple of days on research and trying I figured out, that my installation of g++ and gcc was broken. I've installed an update of g++ through macports, and in the .profile file of my current user there was a value in the PATH var from macports. I removed it, and now it works.
The PATH var should look like this:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
More help on Nokogiri website, using macports or homebrew for Mac OS X install:
