Can't Build Site Locally: bundle install failed with "An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.8.4)"

[xingyif]

I try to build and view the site locally. When I run bundle install, I got

Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen -
/Users/USERNAME/DIR/DIR/DIR/docs.scala-lang/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/nokogiri-1.8.4/.autotest
An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.8.4), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.8.4' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds
before bundling.

When I installed nokogiri manually and successfully by running gem install nokogiri -v '1.8.4' --source 'https://rubygems.org/', and then run bundle install, same error appears.

I am using macOS Sierra version 10.12.3

I know I've hit this more than once before, googled it before, resolved it somehow, and then forgotten what I did. see e.g. sparklemotion/nokogiri#1504

If anyone knows the solution, we should add it to the doc here. (And yes, I should have done it myself before... ah, well, I guess I didn't know yet whether it would turn into something of an FAQ.)

Or maybe whatever nokogiri problem this is isn't the same one I hit, I just know that I remember nokogiri being trouble.

i had some problem with ruby ecosystem too, and just use docker, as i mention at docker support pull request.

[SethTisue]

I think I remember now that xcode-select --install used to fix this. @xingyif you might try that

But also, I hit this today and xcode-select --install didn't fix it. I think what I am experiencing is a new problem on MacOS 10.14 (Yifan's report was on 10.12). The problem is: described here: https://silvae86.github.io/sysadmin/mac/osx/mojave/beta/libxml2/2018/07/05/fixing-missing-headers-for-homebrew-in-mac-osx-mojave/

And the upshot is, this fixes it: sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /

[SethTisue]

just use docker

(I opened #1286 on my troubles with this option)

[SethTisue]

closing on the assumption that any trouble is fixable via some combination of:

xcode-select --install
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /

sigh, on my M1 Mac on macOS 12.1 (Monterey) I'm getting:

'/Users/tisue/docs.scala-lang/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/nokogiri-1.12.5-x86_64-darwin/lib/nokogiri/2.6/nokogiri.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have
'x86_64', need 'arm64e')), '/usr/lib/nokogiri.bundle' (no such file) -

[SethTisue]

this seems promising: https://www.earthinversion.com/blogging/how-to-install-jekyll-on-appple-m1-macbook/

[SethTisue]

that worked

In case it doesn't work, try:
bundle update nokogiri
