Does not install correctly because of dependencies

[ds1982]

I am trying to install rbgccxml because another gem needs it.

It seems that rbgccxml cannot be installed because of the dependency to the "old" nokogiri v 1.4.7.

Here is the log:

What can i do to fix it?

Yeah I need to update this library to use a newer nokogiri, though I would think the old nokogiri would still install properly, though maybe not given how old it is. You could try cloning, updating the version dependency in the gemspec and see if it installs locally. Otherwise I hope to spend some time this weekend updating this and other related libraries.

i managed to install your rbgccxml the way you describe with nokogiri 1.6.1
Thx for the fast help.

I hope everything runs without problems now.

I'll have a new version out next week with an updated and relaxed requirement on nokogiri.

Rbgccxml 1.0.4 is out with updated nokogiri dependencies.
