Error occurred while installing Nokogiri (1.6.5), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install Nokogiri-v'1.6.5' `successes before bundling.

We also installed command line tools, libiconv and libxml2 respectively, and we also did a brew link.
I don't know what caused it, and I've been suffering from this error for about a week.

Looking at the error log, Bundler needs 1.6.5.

gem install nokogiri will get the latest gem, so 1.6.5 won't be installed?

Try installing it with gem install nokogiri-v'1.6.5' and the version as shown in the error log.

(By the way, you can see the version of nokogiri installed in gem search nokogiri-l.)

In , you will probably get a similar error when you try gem install nokogiri-v'1.6.5'.

In my case, if I want to install Nokogiri, I will install it with this option.

gem install nokogiri-v'1.6.5' ----use-system-libraries

If this doesn't work, try to find various information on the Internet.

For example, Qiita also has a lot of information about nokogiri install.

http://qiita.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort=rel&q=nokogiri+install+libxml2+is+missing&sort=rel

Try searching the net with other keywords like "nokogiri yosemite 1.6.5 libxml2 is missing".

You need to install missing development dependencies by:

xcode-select --install

See: gem install nokogiri-v'1.6.8.1'fails

For Ubuntu, see: nokogiri failing to upgrade.
