To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

/home/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.7.0/nokogiri-1.10.10/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /home/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0/gems/nokogiri-1.10.10 for inspection. Results logged to /home/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.7.0/nokogiri-1.10.10/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.10.10), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install nokogiri -v '1.10.10' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' succeeds before bundling.

Answer 1

First, check your mkmf.log file for more details.

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wduplicated-cond'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wmisleading-indentation'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=0'

Solution : brew unlink gcc

$ bundle install (will work fine)
