Nokogiri native extension failing to build (Not li

As the title says, it doesn't seem to be failing because libxml2 or libxslt is missing. I'm not really sure what to make of the error. (Get it? Because the issue is during make? hehe...)

Anywho, here's the output I'm getting. Any ideas would be appreciated:

For context, I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 last night. I had previously built the Nokogiri native extension on this box, though I do not know if it was the same version or not.

I also checked that I have all packages specified in the second post on "error installing nokogiri 1.5.0 with rails 3.1.0 and ubuntu" to no avail.

回答1:

If you're trying to install Nokogiri < 1.5.4, you'll have problems on hardened Debian systems like Ubuntu 12.

Details on the underlying issue are here: https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/680

You should be able to upgrade to 1.5.4 or later and install without this problem.

Alternatively, you should be able to set the CFLAGS environment variable at gem-install time to include the string:

-Wno-error=format-security

-Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-format-security

Good luck!

Took me some time to figure out how to append the cflags. Here is my command for nokogiri 1.4.7:

sudo gem install  nokogiri -v '1.4.7' -- --with-cflags=\"-Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-format-security\"

回答3:

Have you tried installing the following depencies for nokogiri??

# nokogiri requirements
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
sudo gem install nokogiri

回答4:

This may be happening due to this bug > https://leap.se/code/issues/7231

Run below before running the command:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
