EuroHackTrip site 'nokogiri' gem issues #9

Closed MwirabuaTimothy closed 10 years ago

MwirabuaTimothy commented 10 years ago

I am trying to run this rails app on my machine so I can test it and implement leaflet and other user interface stuff. But I keep getting a very annoying error.

  1. I first pull the app, then I do 'bundle'

The error message is:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.5.10), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.10' succeeds before bundling.

  1. So I try:

gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.10'

It gives me the error:

libxml2 is missing. visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

  1. I go there and read the instructions which say I should do:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

I get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libxml2-dev : Depends: libxml2 (= 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4) but 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.6 is to be installed libxslt1-dev : Depends: libxslt1.1 (= 1.1.26-8ubuntu1) but 1.1.26-8ubuntu1.3 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  1. I have tried so many things to go beyond this point but I havent proceeded. I have tried so many things to solve this issue:

sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get install -f libxslt-dev libxml2-dev sudo apt-get -f install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev sudo apt-get --purge libxslt1.1 libxml2 sudo apt-get install build-essential

And more without success...?

Wow! That seems to have solved it. I kept doing sudo apt-get upgrade but I had blocked updates in the settings sometime ago. So I activated updates, ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Seem to have worked now! I am so happy :)

ahh. cool. so it is working and you could install it? I think it is always good to try to stay up to date with the latest versions... as much as possible.

MwirabuaTimothy commented 10 years ago

Oh, good. But I have always believed that if its not broken then don't fix it!. Especially for a system that I use everyday. Thanks to the advice.
