Update: The problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0.
Recently I have tried to update my gems and I have noticed that things just stopped to a grinding halt when it got to libxml-ruby. It appears that the 0.9.9 spectacularly barfed all over itself and it stopped other gems from being updated. Not good!
I started Googling for some answers but since the release has only 2 days I guess not that many people have run into it just yet.
I have found a repo with a patch:
http://github.com/tadman/libxml-ruby/tree/master
If you not paranoid you may do:
$ git clone git://github.com/tadman/libxml-ruby.git $ cd libxml-ruby $ ruby setup.rb $ rake gem $ sudo gem install admin/pkg/libxml-ruby-0.9.9.gem |
If you are paranoid then you would go to the install directory where the original gem broke:
$ cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.9.9 $ cd ext/libxml |
Edit:
ruby_xml_html_parser_context.c
ruby_xml_parser_context.c
by inserting “extern” before “ID IO_ATTR;” statement.
After these files are updated
$ cd ../.. $ ruby setup.rb $ rake gem $ sudo gem install admin/pkg/libxml-ruby-0.9.9.gem |

I ran into this issue yesterday as well but opted for the simpler fix, reverting back to 0.9.8, didnt have anything requiring 0.9.9.

Reverting to 0.9.8 sounds really nice except it does not help when you want to run
$gem update
