我正在尝试安装一个在Ruby 1.8.7-p370上运行的旧项目，并且依赖于运行OS X El Capitan的Mac上旧版libxml-ruby 2.3.2 gem。
问题是，在尝试安装gem时，它不会构建原生扩展。以下是运行gem install libxml-ruby -v '2.3.2'时的完整错误：
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing libxml-ruby:

我做了一些谷歌搜索，但到目前为止还没有找到解决问题的方法。以下是我尝试过的一些事情。
一个建议是卸载apple-gcc可能会起作用，但这使得我没有编译器来构建原生扩展。
Another post suggested这与libxml-ruby 2.3.2与OS X附带的更新版本的libxml之间的不兼容性有关。但是由于MacOSX10.8 SDK似乎不适用，因此以下情况不起作用与Xcode一起发货。或者我错过了什么？
export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk
我可以采取哪些措施来解决此问题？谢谢你的帮助！

原来问题确实是由ruby gem和安装的libxml版本的不兼容版本引起的。最后，我选择更新为更新版本的gem，以便正确构建。
如果您确实需要完全版本2.3.2，您显然也可以手动应用以下补丁：https://github.com/xml4r/libxml-ruby/commit/1c4878f3fdcd0cdf2e0fd09a5e6147a6ed237cf0
