Installing nokogiri 1.6.6.2 with Babun gives error 'libxml2 version 2.6.21 or later is required!'

Question

I'm trying to get Ruby on Rails (Ruby 2.0.0p598, Rails 4.2.0) working on Babun. I've been following this tutorial:

Where installing Nokogiri is supposed to be as simple as

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries

But it always gives me the same error, as indicated in the title.

I know I already have this installed. I installed libxml2-dev as well with Babun's package manager using

pact install libxml2-devel

I've tried manually downloading another libxml2 package and pointing it that way like

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries --with-xml2-config=C:/Ruby/

(I put the folder in C:\Ruby). Still, nothing works, and it thinks there's no libxml2 when I definitely have it.

Thoughts?

If you are using 64 bit ruby NokoGiri on windows has problems with that. Try gem install nokogiri --prerelease
