Trying to do a bundle install with new ruby on my OSX High Sierra (fresh install) and it keeps failing on this nokogiri gem. Here is the error logs:

    $ sudo gem install nokogiri
    Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
    ERROR:  Error installing nokogiri:

 ************************************************************************
    IMPORTANT NOTICE:

    Building Nokogiri with a packaged version of libxml2-2.9.5.

    Team Nokogiri will keep on doing their best to provide security
    updates in a timely manner, but if this is a concern for you and want
    to use the system library instead; abort this installation process and
    reinstall nokogiri as follows:

    gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
        [--with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config]
        [--with-xslt-config=/path/to/xslt-config]

    If you are using Bundler, tell it to use the option:

    bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
    bundle install

    Note, however, that nokogiri is not fully compatible with arbitrary
    versions of libxml2 provided by OS/package vendors.

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries=true --with-xml2-include=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/

Make sure you have xcode installed

I found conflict with xz library, solved using:

brew unlink xz
sudo gem install nokogiri
brew link xz

this is the only thing which worked for me:

bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries \ --with-xml2-include=$(brew --prefix libxml2)/include/libxml2

then bundle install
