Having problems installing hpricot on Mac OS X. I suspect it might be an issue between rvm and brew?
rvm 1.0.5
brew 0.7
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!
$ gem install hpricot

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. and checking for stdio.h... no are suspicious. Hpricot, along with many other Ruby gems, needs to compile some code and will fail if the development package is missing.
You are running RVM and 1.8.7 is in ~/.rvm on your machine, so it looks like it is because RVM would have to compile Ruby, but the failure sounds like it isn't. Do you have Apple's XCode installed in the /Developer directory? If you didn't install it and/or the directory isn't there, you can find the installer on your MacOS install discs, or at Apple's Developer site: http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html
That aside, I'd recommend using Nokogiri over Hpricot. I ran into several bugs in Hpricot a while back that made it unusable for my needs, and switched to Nokogiri. You'll find the two gems have similar syntax. http://nokogiri.org/
Turns out this was an XCode version dependency. Updating XCode to 3.2.4 resolved this.

I have found all of the answers of how to install libxml-ruby with the gem install command:
gem install libxml-ruby -v '3.1.0' -- --with-xml2-config=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/bin/xml2-config --with-xml2-dir=/usr/local/opt/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include
Works beautifully! But then running this right afterward:
bundle install
gives the unhelpful error:

OK, it looks like the libxml2 options are not being included in the call the bundler uses to install. So let's do this:
bundle config build.libxml-ruby --with-xml2-config=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/bin/xml2-config --with-xml2-dir=/usr/local/opt/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include
That should work, right? Well no it doesn't. I am dead in the water until I can get Bundler to do what it is supposed to do.
There is no good answer for why Bundler fails here. The gem install line works. Bundler fails.
Inside the mkmf.log file is this:
find_header: checking for libxml/xmlversion.h in /opt/include/libxml2,/opt/local/include/libxml2,/usr/local/include/libxml2,/usr/include/libxml2... -------------------- no
And then several failures that all relate to not being able to find that header file.
It's looking in /opt/, instead of /usr/local/opt. I don't know how to make Bundler look in the correct place if it won't respect the bundle config commands.
Since Bundler wouldn't honor the paths I was passing in, I looked at the paths where it was looking for xmlversion.h.
I went into /usr/local/include. That's where all my Homebrew links are. I created a symlink to the Mac OS-provided libxml directory:
ln -s /usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml libxml
/usr/local/opt seems like a strange place for a system directory, but I'm tired of messing with it.
Once I did this, and went back into my app directory, bundle install worked. Well, I mean it broke again but it was on therubyracer this time. So it at least jumped this hurdle.
I'm trying to set up and run the Extreme Startup coding dojo on my Windows machine.
When I reach the bundle install step, I get this error message:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.4.5), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.4.5'` succeeds before bundling.
According to the documentation for Nokogiri, it just ought to work, and in a sense, it does, because if I issue the command gem install nokogiri, it does work, but installs nokogiri-1.6.6.2-x64-mingw32.
As I understand the error message from bundle install, it specifically wants version 1.4.5. At least, even with nokogiri-1.6.6.2-x64-mingw32 installed, bundle install still fails with the above error message.
This is likely to be a simple problem, but since I'm a novice ruby user, I could use some help.
I've already tried the suggestions from Error installing Nokogiri on bundle install but already installed, but none of them work.
This particular version of Nokogiri is listed in Gemfile.lock. You can remove that file, run bundle install again and see if it works.
This is more a workaround than a proper solution, but dependencies in Gemfile.lock are quite old so it would be a good thing to refresh them anyway.

You need to install Ruby DevKit if on windows, get it from: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ (scroll down a little).
Same story here deleting ruby and installing:
Ruby 2.0.0-p247
DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe
from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ solved the problem.
Try to use railsinstaller from http://railsinstaller.org/
it will install follwing
Ruby 1.9.3-p392
Rails 4
Bundler
Git
Sqlite
TinyTDS
SQL Server Support
DevKit
The same can happen when you try to combine 32-bit Ruby and 64-bit DevKit.
The solution is to use same-bit versions.
For instance current versions:
rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p247-x64.exe
DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe
There is a problem during Rally App SDK 2.0p environment setup on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have installed Ruby 1.8.7-p358 from rubyinstaller.org and managed to install rake Ruby gem. But I have problems installing jslint-v8 gem. It has dependencies on therubyracer and libv8 gems which need to be built using Ruby DevKit. During the installation I got the following error:

Does anyone know how to install it correctly in Win7?
Thank you!
The gem you try to install depends on libv8 gem, which is nothing more than a wrapper for Google V8 JavaScript VM.
There is no pre-compiled libv8 for Windows (like there is for Linux or OSX), this means it needs to build V8 from scratch.
The code around the build process of V8 is not very portable, not to mention that to compile libv8 you need Python installed :-P
Until today nobody was able to follow the instructions for libv8 pre-compilation on Windows, following the repository instructions:
https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8
Sorry not been able to provide you a better response.
Try this gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3' -- --with-system-v8
Reference: Error installing libv8: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
For building gem native extensions in Windows when you install a gem, you usually need the DevKit installed too:
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ - go to the devkit download link
Their github page has instructions for installing it: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit
I would also recommend using Ruby 1.9.3 instead of 1.8.7, but that shouldn't be much of an issue
Hope that helps.

On Windows, you should use the rmagick-win32 gem.
http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#win
You can get rmagick to compile on Windows with the command:
gem install rmagick -- '--with-opt-dir="[path to ImageMagick]"'
There are three noteworthy things about this command:
There's a double-dash separating "rmagick" and the --with-opt-dir option
The --with-opt-dir option is surrounded by single-quotes
The path to the ImageMagick directory is surrounded by double-quotes
You can have spaces in the path to the ImageMagick directory if you use this syntax. I think the path also doesn't care about forward or backward slashes, but I use backslashes.
You also have to make sure of two other things:
ImageMagick was installed with the development headers option (installs lib and include directories)
ImageMagick is first in your system path
If ImageMagick isn't first in your system path, you'll get an "Invalid drive specification" error when extconf.rb tries to identify the ImageMagick version.
All that said, I've experienced failures to build with some version pairings of rmagick and ImageMagick. I was able to get ImageMagick 6.7.7 and rmagick 2.13.1 to build together on both Windows 7 and Server 2003.
Download this rmagick-2.13.2.gem gem and save in you local.
Open the repository in cmd prompt where the gem file is located and run the following cmd
gem install rmagick-2.13.2.gem --platform=ruby --with-opt-lib=C:/ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16/lib --with-opt-include=c:/ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16/include
A simple google search yielded one very promising result: rmagick on windows. By the way, I guess you are using something like Ruby 1.8.5/1.8.7, but surely not 3.3.5 ( if you do, please let me join you in your time-travel adventures. We could be friends! )
