I updated to the developer release of Lion and noticed I couldn't start rails apps anymore. Whenever I try to sudo bundle install, I get the following error:

Installing nokogiri (1.4.4) with native extensions /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:551:in `build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

I had similar problem, and after installing XCode 4.1, I also had to do the following command:

sudo port upgrade libxml2 libxslt

After that Nokogiri built without problems.
