[Ruby] ERROR: cannot discover where libxml2 is located on your system. please make sure `pkg-config` is installed. の解決方法

Ruby on Rails 5 を bundle install でインストール中に libxml2 が無くて nokogiri がインストールできないというエラーが発生しました。

MacOS に nokogiri のインストールに必要なライブラリがインストールされてなかっただけなのですが、無事に解決できたのでその方法をご紹介します。

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
 
Building Nokogiri with a packaged version of libxml2-2.9.4
with the following patches applied:
	- 0001-Fix-comparison-with-root-node-in-xmlXPathCmpNodes.patch
	- 0002-Fix-XPointer-paths-beginning-with-range-to.patch
	- 0003-Disallow-namespace-nodes-in-XPointer-ranges.patch
 
Team Nokogiri will keep on doing their best to provide security
updates in a timely manner, but if this is a concern for you and want
to use the system library instead; abort this installation process and
reinstall nokogiri as follows:
 
    gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
        [--with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config]
        [--with-xslt-config=/path/to/xslt-config]
 
If you are using Bundler, tell it to use the option:
 
    bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
    bundle install
 
Note, however, that nokogiri is not fully compatible with arbitrary
versions of libxml2 provided by OS/package vendors.

nokogiri は libxml2 libxslt libiconv が必要

MacOS に libxml2 libxslt libiconv という三種の神器がインストールされていないため、nokogiri のインストールに失敗してしまっていたようでした。

何も考えずに brew install しましょう。

brew install libxml2 libxslt libiconv

インストール後に brew link –force でインストールした lib* へのシンボリックリンクを作成しましょう。

brew link --force libxml2
brew link --force libxslt
brew link --force libiconv

最後に MacOS にインストールしたシステムライブラリを利用して build するような設定を有効にして、再度 bundle install すれば完了です。

bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
bundle install

Rails のインストールでこういう風にエラー対応をしないといけないの地味に面倒なので、開発環境の Docker 化の機運が高まりますね。
