I am using webservices to communicate to an ERP from ruby on rails application using Savon. I was able to install Savon gem on my local fedora machine. But I am not able to install it on Production server. It gives following error :-

ERROR:  Error installing savon:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for libxml/parser.h... no
-----
libxml2 is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.
-----
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Tried to reinstall libxml2 but that also gave error. Can anyone help me to debug this issue?

Thanks In Advance.....

The reason for this is right there in the error message:

libxml2 is missing. please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html
for help with installing dependencies.

They even provide a Red Hat guide.
