Incompatible library version: nokogiri.bundle requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib

Question

I\'m getting this error when trying to run rspec in Hartl\'s tutorial. I googled the error, but it\'s never for the specific version and the fixes don\'t actually fix my pro

Answer 1

First, check your version of libxml:

otool -L /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib

It can return

/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.0.0)

or

/usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.9.0)

Then you can try reinstalling libxml to upgrade it:

brew uninstall libxml2 libxslt
brew install libxml2 libxslt

After that, try to recompile your package:

make clean
./configure
make
sudo make install
