We are having problem with libxml-ruby gem at the server side Possible because it uses x86_64 architecture:
$ uname -a Linux ip-10-228-171-64 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen-ec2-v1.0 #1 SMP Tue Sep 1 10:25:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

gem version 1.1.4
Reinstalling the gem doesn't help Can somebody suggest what to do?
回答1:
try reverting your libxml-ruby gem version to 1.1.3
回答2:
I had this exact same issue in a Centos....Aparently there is a problem with gem version 1.1.4 and 64 bit machines. Head over to rubyfourge and dowload version 1.1.3.
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=494
download the .gem an then just run:
gem install libxml-ruby-1.1.3.gem
On the console. I hope this helps
回答3:
For what it's worth, I was having the same issue in ubuntu, and what worked was to install the libxml dev package, as detailed here
for Ubuntu, use apt-get instead of yum: % sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
then the install of libxml-ruby gem works like a charm.
回答4:
For some reason on Linux, sometimes gem gets confused and installs the Windows DLL for libxml-ruby. You can verify this by doing a file on (ruby lib path)/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-1.1.4/lib/libxml_ruby.so and it says that libxml_ruby.so is a Windows PE DLL.
The way I've found to work around this is to force the platform, i.e:
gem install libxml-ruby --platform ruby
回答5:
We ran into the same problem today, and it turned out that rubygems had installed the Windows dll instead of an ELF *.so. We are running a fairly old version of Rubygems (1.3.7), but reinstalling the gem somehow solved the problem. Not sure if platform detection in that version of Rubygems or something?
