Hi,
I am trying to install the nokogiri Ruby gem using "gem install nokogiri" and
have the ruby-2.5.5 package from ports for that purpose installed.
Unfortunately it does not want to install complaining that the
'machine/cdefs.h' header file can not be found. This header file is included on
line 41 of /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h but is not present on my OpenBSD 6.5
system. Am I missing something here?
I have pasted below the full error output from installing that gem if that is
of any help.
Best regards,
Mabi
$ gem install nokogiri
