I am installing gitlab. when I installed Gems. I got the following errros:

when I executed : "bundle install -j4" and "sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws kerberos"

the error is :

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.6.2), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.6.2'` succeeds before bundling.

Then I executed "sudo gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.6.2'", it succeeded as follows:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed nokogiri-1.6.6.2
Parsing documentation for nokogiri-1.6.6.2
Done installing documentation for nokogiri after 2 seconds
1 gem installed

but then , when I executed the command again: "bundle install -j4" and "sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws kerberos" , there are still errors as follows:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.6.2), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.6.2'` succeeds before bundling.

But when I executed "gem list", I found nokogiri is  in the list as below:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bigdecimal (1.2.4)
bundler (1.10.6)
io-console (0.4.3)
json (1.8.1)
mini_portile (0.6.2)
minitest (4.7.5)
nokogiri (1.6.6.2)
psych (2.0.5)
rake (10.1.0)
rdoc (4.1.0)
test-unit (2.1.6.0)

When I had tried to install the dependences of nokogiri, I found I can not install them. I tried other ways, but none of them worked. I exectued other commmand "bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries" and " gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries --with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config]" and then "gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries --with-xslt-config=/path/to/xslt-config]" and " bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries" and "bundle install".

My OS is ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit.

Title changed from **I am installing gitlab. when ** to I am installing gitlab. when I installed Gems. I got the following errros:

This is not a direct answer to the problem, but would the omnibus installation an option for you? You don't have to worry about installing gems with it.

Is there any detailed error message shown above the "An error occurred" message?

Both libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev are installed?

@haynes what is the omnibus installation an option?

@stefan-it there is no other detailed error message shown above the "An error occurred" message. Both libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev are installed.

@EdwardZ an easier way to install gitlab.
See here: https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/#ubuntu1404

Essentially you add a repository and then just install gitlab with sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce
Makes updates easier as well :)

@EdwardZ Ok... what ruby version do you use?

@haynes Thank you, I will have try. by the way, will the omnibus installation have any differences with the traditional way? Will gitlab shell, gitlab-git-http-server etc be installed automatically?

@stefan-it it is ruby 2.1.6.

yes. it's all bundled in the omnibus install.

You can find the documentation for the omnibus installation here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/README.md

Wow, it is so nice！

@haynes OK, thank you.

@haynes Maybe I can not download the files in omnibus install. Now I have solve the error. Thank you.
