I'm trying to install kitabu with gem on Mac OS X 10.7.4. With pre-installed ruby of version 1.8.X, I got an error saying that I should use 1.9 or later version of ruby.

I installed rvm and tried to use gem from rvm sudo gem install kitabu to get this error. 

checking for xmlParseDoc() in -lxml2... no
-----
libxml2 is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html     for help with installing dependencies.

Using port install libxml2, I installed libxml2, but rvm doesn't seem to link against this library.

How can I solve this issue?

you need to have libxml2 headers in your system (it is required to build native extensions for this gem)

with macports its sudo port install libxml2 with brewd should work with brew install libxml2

more reading here in portfile http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=libxml2 if you have linux http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/libxml/installation/installing_libxml_on_ubuntu_linux.php and if you have windows i don't have a clue.

I'm not sure but it seems that some of the libraries of native OS X and port kind of mingled, when I removed the /opt/local/lib from DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/opt/local/lib, it seems tot work.
