How to install Nokogiri as a Macruby gem? - ruby

Question

The latest MacRuby release notes (v0.6) state that the authors have managed to get this release working with the SQLite and Nokogiri gems. However when I run sudo macgem install nokogiri I get the following errors:
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri:
extconf failed:
and then a bunch of paths followed by:
libxml2 is missing. try 'port install libxml2' or 'yum install libxml2'
/Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.6/usr/lib/ruby/Gems/1.9.0/gems/nokogiri-1.4.1/ext/nokogiri/extconf.rb:1:in `<main>': libxml2 is missing. try 'port install libxml2' or 'yum install libxml2' (SystemExit)
Anyone knows how to get this working? My platform is Mac OS X 10.6.3. Nokogiri normally (meaining on plain old ruby 1.8.7) installs without a problem.
Progress
OK, so I have:
git clone http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri.git
cd nokogiri/ext/nokogiri
Then I've rebuilt the macports libraries with sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxml2 +universal and sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxslt +universal
Then I've executed macruby extconf.rb successfully
Then I proceed to make
At this point it errors out like so:

Answer 1

I think you have to build from source since only Nokogiri's head is MacRuby compliant

Answer 2

If you use the source code of GitHub,
$ git clone git://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri.git
$ cd nokogiri/ext/nokogiri/
$ sed -i.bak 's/<st.h>/<ruby\/st.h>/' nokogiri.h
If you make a gem package of Nokogiri,
$ cd ../..
$ sudo gem install hoe
$ sudo gem install rake-compiler
$ sudo gem install racc
$ sudo gem install rexical
$ mkdir ~/.rubyforge; touch ~/.rubyforge/user-config.yml
$ rake gem
An Above command, I used ruby of the system default. ("/usr/bin/ruby")
$ cd pkg
$ sudo macgem install nokogiri-1.4.1.gem

I think you have to build a libxml2 as Universal binary.
If you use MacPorts, execute the command below.
$ sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxml2 +universal
$ sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxslt +universal
$ sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants sqlite3 +universal
It still fails in the installation (x _ x;
$ sudo macgem install nokogiri
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

I uploaded to GitHub which I made a package.
