When I try to run a ruby on rails project I got an error:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.5.2), and bundle cannot continue.
Make sure that 'gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.2 succeed before building.

I'm working on Ubuntu 10.10

My co-worker uses on Windows/RVM and does not have this problem.

Edit:

gem_make.out
