An error occured while installing charlock_holmes libicu

bundle-install, gitlab, redhat, rhel

Solution

Same Problem here. Installed libicu-devel-4.2.1-9.1.el6_2.x86_64.rpm from red hat and the install of charlock_holmes succeeded. From https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/packages/details/Overview.do?pid=680099 You will need a Red Hat Network login to get it though. Note I read says it is part of the "optional" packages.

Problem

I'm trying to install Gitlab following this install script, but am running into an issue where the charlock_holmes gem fails to install. I'm not familiar with Ruby. My charlock_holmes-0.6.8 `gem_make.out` file is below. ``` /home/gitlabuser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for main() in -licui18n... no which: no brew in (/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/gitlabuser/.rvm/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/gitlabuser/bin:/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/) checking for main() in -licui18n... no *************************************************************************************** *********** icu required (brew install icu4c or apt-get install libicu-dev) *********** *************************************************************************************** *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

It appears the libicu package isn't including the files required by the charlock_holmes gem, but there aren't any devel packages available. Any suggestions?
