Note: I have the exact same error with:

回答1:
From the mkmf.log, I got a hint from:
warning: non-portable path to file '<String.h>'; specified path differs in case from file name on disk
And effectively, the error is from the /usr/local/include/String.h file, which may not be the intended <String.h> file. And this file is mysterious because it wants to include <plist/Node.h>, but /usr/local/include/plist/ doesn't exist.
Actually, I found something else interesting:
brew doctor
Warning: Unbrewed header files were found in /usr/local/include. If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
Unexpected header files:
...
/usr/local/include/String.h
...
So I simply listed those unexpected headers files:
brew doctor 2> doctor.txt
I manually trimmed the top content of doctor.txt to only keep the list of files. Then I deleted those:
sed 's/^ //g' doctor.txt | tr "\n" "\0" | xargs -0 rm
rm doctor.txt
Then both installation issues were fixed (libxml-ruby and nokogiri).
