So, did you try what the error suggested? Did you do  'yum install libxslt' ?

Thanks for replying...
I dont have YUM installed on my m/c so I did..
up2date install libxslt

It worked fine and installed successfully.
But while doing
gem install blackbook
I get exactly the same error again...!!! :(
Where am I going wrong???

Thank you.

Exactly the same error message? (Sorry about asking that.)

Yes..exactly the same error message....
And I don't have the privileges to install YUM on the m/c.
So can't even do that...

I know nothing about centos, but did you just install the libraries or
did you also install the associated development headers (they are
frequently split out into separate packages eg libfoo and libfoo-dev
or libfoo-devel)

Hi,
Were was your problem solved? I faced the same issue recently with
ubuntu and it got fixed when i installed libxlst-devel. I used synaptic
Package manager to get the same since yum and apt-get both used to say
that the package was not found.
Just wanted to know what you did.

Thanks and Regards,
Anjali
