solve libxslt is missing error when installing omniauth or nokogiri
Posted by Dhaval Parikh on Aug 8, 2011 |
I was trying to install omniauth and was getting error for nokogiri libxslt is missing. If you are facing the same issue you may solve it using the following command. I have tested it with ubuntu and it worked for me. Its not tested on Fedora but should work.
on Ubuntu 10
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt libxslt-dev
on Ubuntu 11
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
On fedora
sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
If you still face issues do write to me.
Thanks
I am having the same problem but on Mac OS Lion. I am using ruby 1.9.2, Xcode 4, homebrew, and RVM. Do you know how to solve this problem on Mac OS?
Hi
Thanks for the comment. Haven’t tested it but on googling I found this
sudo port install libxml2 libxslt
Try it out and let me know if you still face any issue.
thanks
Dhaval,
I’ve tried the above command in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt libxslt-dev
I get the following error:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Note, selecting ‘libxslt1-dev’ instead of ‘libxslt-dev’
E: Unable to locate package libxslt
Andrew,
You may try running the following 2 commands and than try installing it again. via apt-get update or aptitude install build-essential
If it still doesn’t work let me know
Thanks
Thanks – the proposed solution worked for us.
Deploying via capistrano to a Rackspace cloud server, amd64 architecture, running REE and Rails 3.1.
Hi Andrew
I think i missed the point. you are using >11 version of Ubuntu and thus you will have to run the following command. I will update in my post too.
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
Thanks
