Installing of nokogir-1.1.16.4 fails on Termux (a terminal emulator / Ubuntu-based Linux environment for Adnroid), due to libxml2 not being able to extract due to hardlink issues with tar.

Have you read and followed the installation tutorial at http://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html?

  • Yes!

What is the complete output of gem install or bundle install?

The Nokogiri maintainers intend to provide timely security updates, but if
this is a concern for you and want to use your OS/distro system library
instead, then abort this installation process and install nokogiri as
instructed at:

Note, however, that nokogiri cannot guarantee compatibility with every
version of libxml2 that may be provided by OS/package vendors.

@postmodern Looks like hard links have been present in the libxml2 tarball since 2.9.10 (2019-10-30), which first appeared in Nokogiri in v1.10.5 (2019-10-31).

This may have been fixed in GNOME/libxml2@f0df3e6d? It may be worth opening an issue upstream to confirm how it's going to be packaged. There's nothing I can easily do in Nokogiri to address this.

One user commented they were able to work around this problem in #2416 (comment) by installing against system libraries with gem install nokogiri --platform=ruby -- --use-system-libraries. Hope that helps?
