Hi, I have a rhel7 system and am trying to install the rails gem, I was
wondering how to troubleshoot this since I don’t see any useful error
message. I’m guessing i’m just missing something, how to see what it
might be?
gem install rails
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing rails:

Team Nokogiri will keep on doing their best to provide security
updates in a timely manner, but if this is a concern for you and want
to use the system library instead; abort this installation process and
reinstall nokogiri as follows:
gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
[--with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config]
[--with-xslt-config=/path/to/xslt-config]
If you are using Bundler, tell it to use the option:
bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
bundle install
Note, however, that nokogiri is not fully compatible with arbitrary
versions of libxml2 provided by OS/package vendors.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details.
