I'm trying to install a newer version of the nokogiri gem (going to 1.5.2 from 1.4.3.1).
The output that i get looks like this:
[~]# gem install nokogiri -v '1.5.2'
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

The function 'xmlHasFeature' is missing from your installation of libxml2.
Likely this means that your installed version of libxml2 is old enough that
nokogiri will not work well. To get around this problem, please upgrade your
installati on of libxml2.
This is a RedHat box with RPM v4.3.3, and i'm assuming that libxml2 needs to be updated. It looks like the current version is:
MODULE_VERSION="xml2-2.6.16"
But i'm not familiar with what the upgrade command/process would look like, can you help?
