libxslt is missing. nokogiri

Forcing a universal install of both libxml2 and libxslt seems to fix
the issue.

sudo port upgrade –enforce-variants libxml2 +universal
sudo port upgrade –enforce-variants libxslt +universal
gem install nokogiri — –with-xml2-include=/opt/local/include/libxml2
–with-xml2-lib=/opt/local/lib –with-xslt-dir=/opt/local

Installing ruby from the source

First get the source from

wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz
tar xzf stable-snapshot.tar.gz

$ cd ruby/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
ruby -v
Now test it with:
ruby -ropenssl -rzlib -rreadline -e "puts :Hello"
Did you get hello? you are all set.
That should do it.
Thanks to the railswiki at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-started/installation/linux-mandriva
Now install the gems
$ cd ~
$ wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/69365/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
$ tar xvfz rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
$ cd rubygems-1.3.7
$ sudo ruby setup.rb
$ sudo gem install rails
"You may want a different version but this works just fine."
And finally
