I am using Ruby 1.9.3 and therefore have to use an older version of Nokogiri. I need to install Nokogiri v1.5.10.
Initially I got an error that libxml2 is missing. After installing libxml2 I got the following error:
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri-1.5.10.gem:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

libxslt is missing. please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

Do I need to install each and every dependency manually?
If so, how do i determine what version to use?
NOTE: The server does not have access to the internet. Therefore, I have to scp rpm or tar files to install.
Unfortunately yes, you will need to install each dependency manually with that version of Nokogiri as I don't believe they packaged the dependencies in until version 1.6.0.rc1.

I 'm using new MACBook PRO (chip: Apple M2) and trying to set up rails application but therubyracer gem is not installing. I tried below steps but didn't work
brew install v8#3.15
gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.19' -- --with-system-v8
gem install therubyracer -- --with-v8-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/v8#3.15
when i tried with 'brew install v8#3.15' it gives below error
Warning: v8#3.15 has been deprecated because it depends on Python 2 to build!
Error: v8#3.15: no bottle available!
If you're feeling brave, you can try to install from source with:
brew install --build-from-source v8#3.15
It is expected behaviour that most formulae will fail to build from source.
It is expected behaviour that Homebrew will be buggy and slow when building from source.
Do not create any issues about failures building from source on Homebrew's GitHub repositories.
Do not create any issues building from source even if you think this message is unrelated.
Any opened issues will be immediately closed without response.
Do not ask for help building from source from MacHomebrew on Twitter.
You may ask for help building from source in Homebrew's discussions but are unlikely to receive a response.
If building from source fails, try to figure out the problem yourself and submit a fix as a pull request.
We will review it but may or may not accept it.
eve after installing v8 as suggested with command 'brew install --build-from-source v8#3.15', therubyracer gem is still not installing,

Any idea how can i resolve this?
I am trying to setup a ruby on rails environment on my mac in order to start using the RubyMine IDE.
I have used homebrew, rbenv and all other required libraries in order to install ruby/rails - however when I sudo gem install rails the install fails due to :

I have tried to install Nokogiri on it's own and I get the following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied # rb_sysopen - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/nokogiri-1.6.8.1/.autotest
I really hope somebody can help me as I am quite a noob to RonR and I feel like things have gotten messy directory/permission wise,
Thank you.
Let's take a quick look at a small part of the error that you have provided us.
zlib is missing; necessary for building libxml2
It's trying to tell you that you do not have zlib, so let's get it. Since you said you're using a Mac, I would install a package manager like Homebrew. Try doing brew install zlib to install this package.
Additionally, if you're starting out learning Ruby, regardless of what platform you are using, it might be helpful to use something like rbenv or rvm to manage different versions of Ruby and the gems that go along with those versions. You will run into less permissions issues (e.g. having to run gem install as a privileged user), some of which may be easy to solve, but some of which may send you down a rabbit hole for a few hours.
I'm trying to install Rails on my Mac (Yosemite). I've gone through several SO questions, reinstalling libxml2 with Homebrew, and with RVM, and updating Ruby, etc. and nothing has worked so far. My libxml2 version is 2.9.2.
ERROR: Error installing rails:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Building nokogiri using system libraries.
libxml2 version 2.6.21 or later is required!
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.
What should I try next?
You have issues with nokogiri building.
Try the following steps. This should work for Yosemite:
brew install libxml2
bundle config build.nokogiri "--use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2"
bundle install
I'm trying to install an old version of nokogiri, but I am having trouble specifying the format:
I'm using
gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2 -- --with-iconv-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1/lib
but this is not the correct syntax. Do you know how to do this?

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
You’ve only specified the lib dir to use, try specifying the include dir as well:
gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2 -- \
--with-iconv-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1/lib \
--with-iconv-include=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1/include
You may be able to specify both together:
gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2 -- \
--with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1
It looks like there was some changes as to how Nokogiri finds iconv between versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.5, which may explain why you’re able to install the latest version but not 1.5.2.
I simply installed homebrew, and used the brew link inconv to create the necessary symlinks to compile the gem.
$brew link libiconv
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1... 18 symlinks created
$gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2

I don't think hpricot is supported anymore. You should look into nokogiri, it is much faster and is extremely well documented.
edit: I just checked the hpricot github page (https://github.com/hpricot/hpricot/) and they also suggested you use nokogiri:
Hpricot has ended. Please consider an alternative like nokogiri.
edit#2: If you are running into errors installing it, it is likely because you are missing libxml and other libraries which you will need to install through homebrew or macports. All the required libraries and installation instructions can be found here:
http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html
It looks like you don't have libxml, or the libxml development libraries, from the error message in the nokogiri build.
Using Kubuntu 14.04 I installed hpricot (after error "ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.") simply by installing ruby-dev first.
