trouble with native libraries when using --local --path

[Thorsten von Eicken]

I'm having trouble with bundle install --local --path vendor/gems and native gems, nokogiri specifically. When I try to bundle exec rackup I get the error

:in `require': libexslt.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the .so is in

./vendor/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/nokogiri-1.6.0/ports/x86_64-redhat-linux/libxslt/1.1.26/lib/libexslt.so

and in

./vendor/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/nokogiri-1.6.0/ext/nokogiri/tmp/x86_64-redhat-linux/ports/libxslt/1.1.26/libxslt-1.1.26/libexslt/.libs/libexslt.so

but neither seem to be in the load path. It seems that when using --local and --path while the gems all get installed locally the dependencies of the shared libraries don't properly get referenced. Is install --local --path supposed to work with native gems like this or is there some additional magic needed?

The `--local` option simply means that Bundler won't talk to gem servers while installing, so I think we can rule it out.

Does `--system` work for you, but `--path` does not? I believe that this problem is linked to Bundler sometimes not adding a gem's `ext` folder to the load path.

[Thorsten von Eicken]

Yes, --system works. Your description of "Bundler sometimes not adding a gem's `ext` folder to the load path" sounds on the mark. Is there a way I can influence the "sometimes"?

[André Arko]

I’m not sure what the criteria are… maybe --path is the time that happens. I believe there’s an open ticket for this issue, and I will try to investigate it when I get the chance. In the meantime, if you have time to investigate, feel free. :)
