I'm running bundle install and I'm getting this error:

Building nokogiri using system libraries.

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/myuser/projectpath/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/nokogiri-1.6.2.rc2 for inspection.

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.2.rc2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.2.rc2'` succeeds before bundling.

Any ideas what could this be?

EDIT:

I also have installed nokogiri following the instructions in the tutorial, and the weird thing is that the gem was successfully installed. When I run gem list, I have nokogiri (1.6.2.1), but when running bundle install it displays the error.

Previous advises didn't help me, here is the solution for OS 10.9:

brew install libxml2
bundle config build.nokogiri "--use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2"
bundle install
