How to install Nokogiri as a Macruby gem?

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:

1. git clone http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri.git
2. cd nokogiri/ext/nokogiri
3. Then I've rebuilt the macports libraries with sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxml2 +universal and sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libxslt +universal
4. Then I've executed macruby extconf.rb successfully
5. 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

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

It still fails in the installation (x _ x;

$ sudo macgem install nokogiri                   
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

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 uploaded to GitHub which I made a package. http://wiki.github.com/Watson1978/nokogiri-macruby/
