nokogiri installation issues on snow leopard with Ruby 2.0.0-p353

[Bharat Ruparel]

I cannot install nokogiri gem on mac osx Snow Leopard when using Ruby 2.0.0-p353 or Ruby 2.1.0.  Interestingly, I have no such problems when installing nokogiri on Ruby 1.9.3 or Ruby 2.0.0-p195.  Here is the stack trace that I get when installing on Ruby 2.0.0-p353:

→ gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1'

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

ERROR:  Error installing nokogiri:

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/Bharat/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/nokogiri-1.6.1 for inspection.

I would like to upgrade to patch 353 in Ruby 2.0.0 and then on to Ruby 2.1.0 but am held back because of the Nokogiri error.

Please help.

Thanks.

I am also getting these same error messages on my Ubuntu 13.10 system that has Ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-linux] installed.  I am also getting the following error messages: "libxslt is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options." and then it list a bunch of possible options that could be used.
