I had been having a lot of trouble using libxml-ruby on Ubuntu Hardy for a hobby project of mine. Any task including libxml calls via require 'xml/libxml' fails with the message:

no such file to load -- libxml_so


To solve this:

sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.7.0
sudo ruby ext/libxml/extconf.rb
sudo make; sudo make install
