El Capitan: Can't install capybara-webkit - ruby-on-rails

I couldn't bundle since there was an error occurred while installing capybara-webkit (1.11.1).
So I tried gem install capybara-webkit -v '1.11.1', but it returned en error: Failed to build gem native extension. I'm not even sure what does it mean.
The entire output would be:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing capybara-webkit:

Does anyone know how to handle this issue?
Thank you in advance!

The answer posted by #raghu will work with Qt5.5 which is the last version officially supported by the developers of capybara-webkit. Another option is to make homebrew install qt-webkit with the current version of qt and then build capybara-webkit against that. Start by uninstalling qt from homebrew if you've already installed it (brew uninstall qt), then
brew install qt --with-qtwebkit
and go do something else for a while as it compiles from source. Once it's finished try installing the capybara-webkit gem again.

Try this:
brew install qt#5.5
brew link --force qt#5.5
gem install capybara-webkit

I'm new to Ubuntu and Ruby on Rails. How can I solve these problems?
It looks like you're missing prerequisites.
Nokogiri's "Troubleshooting Ubuntu/Debian Installation" documentation says:
Here’s what you should do if you should find yourself in this situation:
1 sudo apt-get install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev
Please report it as a bug if this doesn’t work for you (see Getting Help for details).
Because you're using Ubuntu and doing a normal install, you'll need sudo to do any gem installs.
I'd strongly recommend using rbenv or RVM to manage your Ruby installation(s) as they'll make your life a lot easier. If you use those, you won't need to use sudo again, except for any system-wide prerequisite libraries.

Try installing the libgmp-dev library
apt-get install libgmp-dev
Using RVM to install rails in ruby 2.2.3 has been a major problem among other users as well. For now, you can still get rails 4.2.4 in ruby 2.2.2.
Try:
rvm install 2.2.2
rvm --default use 2.2.2
gem install rails
this should still work. RVM for some reason does not install the right headers in 2.2.3 for you to build the gems.
For OS X users: remember update the Xcode command line developer tools, this is the problem for the 99% OS X users. xcode-select --install
You can try this amazing solution for this
The solution is:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Or, if that doesn't work, depending on your ruby version, run something like:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
Should fix your problem.
Still not working? Try the following after installing ruby-dev:
sudo apt-get install make
This solution is for nokogiri error:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
As the error says check in the mkmf.log file. There you'll find the missing header files.
In my case I was missing zlib.h. The error was:
The #include file "zlib.h" is not found
So to fix it:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
To find required dev packages, one can use apt-file
$ apt-file search zlib.h
zlib1g-dev: /usr/include/zlib.h

i found the problem to be that since i am on fedora , i am using ruby 1.8.3 and that seems to be problem. now upgraded to ruby 1.9.3, problem solved.
I installed the dependency first:
gem install debugger-linecache --version 1.1.2
After that, I ran the bundle install command and it worked fine.
