Huh, that's weird…

Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,

caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
issues. The error from Bundler is:

I have libiconv installed via homebrew.

[RobAWilkinson]

Not sure the problem, but I dropped back to 1.9.1 and it installed fine

[DanHam]

This installed fine for me with version 1.9.4 of Vagrant.

I get the same error message as blalor with version 1.9.5.

@chrisroberts I noticed that nokogiri was removed for 1.9.5. The install of this plugin worked when Vagrant shipped with nokogiri included...

I've noticed this has already been mentioned here. However export NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=true does not seem to work for me

[Roguelazer]

Note to folks hit with this:

If you're on OS X and have libiconv installed via homebrew, you can work around this issue by installing nokogiri with the following command line:

LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix libiconv)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix libiconv)/include" vagrant plugin install nokogiri

[axot]

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
export NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=true
LDFLAGS=$(brew --prefix libiconv)/lib CFLAGS=-I$(brew --prefix libiconv)/include vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws

works for me

[richardreid14]

I'm able to install the plugin now with the solution above, but can't actually use it.

When I attempt a vagrant up, I get the following error:

require: dlopen(/Users/richardreid/.vagrant.d/gems/2.2.5/extensions/x86_64-darwin-13/2.2.0/nokogiri-1.8.0/nokogiri/nokogiri.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /vagrant-substrate/staging/embedded/lib/libexslt.0.dylib (LoadError)

I've tried downgrading Vagrant, downgrading/upgrading Nokogiri, changing Ruby versions, and I'm still stumped. Anyone else experienced this?

[greeno]

Needed pkg-config from brew to fix me. brew install pkg-config
