The file "/usr/include/iconv.h" is missing in your build environment,
which means you haven't installed Xcode Command Line Tools properly.
To install Command Line Tools, try running `xcode-select --install` on
terminal and follow the instructions. If it fails, open Xcode.app,
select from the menu "Xcode" - "Open Developer Tool" - "More Developer

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:

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 not really sure what to make of this. I've tried reinstalling uninstalling and reinstalling zlib but it didn't seem to change anything. I'm on OS X Sierra version 10.12.3 by the way.
Solved by this thread using
sudo gem install rails -- --use-system-libraries --with-xml=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/
Using installrails.com to install rails and everything works fine until I get to the first step:
gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc
After typing this, the terminal outputs:

After some research I found I may be able to fix it by installing the Xcode command line tools, but I need further help.
The error message tells you exactly what went wrong:
The file "/usr/include/iconv.h" is missing in your build environment,
which means you haven't installed Xcode Command Line Tools properly.
And how to fix the problem:
To install Command Line Tools, try running xcode-select --install on
terminal and follow the instructions. If it fails, open Xcode.app,
select from the menu "Xcode" - "Open Developer Tool" - "More Developer
Tools" to open the developer site, download the installer for your OS
version and run it.
Please check:
Do you have Xcode installed?
Do you have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed?
Did you open Xcode at least once (and again after every update) and did you accept the licence?

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.
I've tried multiple solutions offered on similar question posted here but nothing seems to work. I can't install Rails. Error message is below. Also, Wwen I try to install Xcode by using xcode-select --install, it give me an installation o network cannot download due to network Please advise. I'm very new to Ruby so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
