Nokogiri gem installation error with spree

Question

I'm getting this error when I try to bundle install

Bundler::GemspecError: Could not read gem at /home/theareba/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/cache/nokogiri-1.6.1.gem. It may be corrupted.
An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.1), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1'` succeeds before bundling.

I've tried removing nokogiri in the cache and bundle installing again in vain. Here's my gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '4.0.0'
ruby "2.0.0"

gem 'spree_auth_devise', github: 'spree/spree_auth_devise', branch: '2-1-stable'
gem 'spree', github: 'spree/spree', branch: '2-1-stable'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.3.2.0'

gem 'sass-rails' 
gem 'uglifier'
gem 'coffee-rails'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'turn', :require => false 
  gem 'sqlite3'
  gem 'taps', :require => false
  gem 'rspec-rails'
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg', '0.15.1'
  gem 'rails_12factor'
end

UPDATE Error that occurs when I run gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.0'

Note: I've installed both libxslt1-dev and libxml2-dev that are requirements in nokogiri installation. I've also tried gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1' but it still fails. I've installed nokogiri -v 1.5.0 in another app so I tried it in this app and got the error that spree requires nokogiri version 1.6.0 or greater. I'm I missing something?

Answer 1

So here's what solved my problem. I created a new gemset i.e

rvm gemset create nokogiri
rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p353@nokogiri

Note: I'm using rvm and ruby 2.0.0. Then I made sure I've got necessary lib installed by running

sudo apt-get install  libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

The libraries happened to be already installed. Then I installed nokogiri

gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1'

It installed successfully. And finally ran bundle install to get all my gems. Hope this helps anyone having the same issue.

Answer 2

Check the RVM gemset. I fixed it by restoring the gemset. If you try upgrading to 4.0.2? I used Nokogiri 1.6.1 with Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0.2

Answer 3

try this

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

and reinstall nokogiri

sudo gem install nokogiri
