So I've installed ruby (2.0.0 for x32) and DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe and made sure it worked on installing the json rubygem. I've downloaded ruby.exe in an admin account AND am running the command lines as an admin. I've been googling this problem for an hour but haven't fixed it! Any help would be appreciated.

  • Please find a similar answer in which this should help you [nokogiri will not install - ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16028028/nokogiri-will-not-install-error-failed-to-build-gem-native-extension/16028181#16028181 – Deej May 14 '13 at 20:34
  • I don't know with Windoze but I think [this](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libxml2.htm) may help. You need to have this library for Nokogiri. – squiguy May 14 '13 at 20:38

How did you instally Ruby, try installing it with ruby installer first then see if you still have an issue.

Nokogiri does not support Windows Ruby 2.0 on 64-bit machines yet. Follow along at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/864

  • The author clearly states that he has isntalled 32-bit versions of Ruby and DevKit. I'm having the same problem, and on 32 bit Windows, with 32bit installs of Ruby and DevKit. – Kaerber Oct 09 '13 at 10:35

You installed the 32 bit ruby with the 64 bit devkit. Try again but make sure they match.

  • DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe is listed as 32-bit variation of DevKit on RubyInstaller.org – Kaerber Oct 09 '13 at 10:35

You could try the 'fat binary gem'.
