  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
