I'm following Github's Jekyll installation instructions https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages/
Simply issuing build install initially failed to compile libxml2-2.9.2. The log shows it is related to my system library /usr/local/lib/libiconv.dylib not being 64bits : "missing required architecture x86_64 in file /usr/local/lib/libiconv.dylib".
Providing the libraries, like in
gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.6.2' -- \
--with-xml2-include=/Applications/Dev/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/ \
--with-iconv-include=/Applications/Dev/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/ \
--with-iconv-lib=/Applications/Dev/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/lib --use-system-libraries
under Xcode, resolves the 64bit issue with iconv but systematically fails at the point of finding libxml2. See the log below.
I've tried all options I could use from Error to install Nokogiri on OSX 10.9 Maverick? and Nokogiri installation fails -libxml2 is missing but with no avail. I also installed fink and libmxl2 and pointed to the include files and libraries there but it failed as well at the same point.
I have a fresh update of Xcode 6.4, and made sure to issue a xcode-select --install. Homebrew is not an option for me.
Below the log of my last try with the Xcode libraries& include paths.
Where is that mkmf.log file mentioned in the log?? Judging from the other threads I was hoping to solve the problem and it seems I'd be close to it, but after a day dealing with all this I can't see now how.
Thanks in advance for any hint on how to solve this.
PS: I just wanted to try out blogging in github. Isn't all this ruby mambo-jambo supposed to be easier than the good old cmake, dpkg, etc.? I can't quite get the right mindset to this trend of plethora of package & version managers each with their own idiosyncrasy. Does this approach of rbenv, gem, bunlder, etc. get more reliable after one gets used to it? or is it always this fragile? Just wondering whether is worth the effort to get familiar with all this..

libxml2 is missing. Please locate mkmf.log to investigate how it is failing.
