Error installing charlock_holmes : Error installing GITLAB
gitlab
Solution
This looks like issue 1952
It was actually weirdness with the way my ubuntu VPS is commissioned. Mine did not come with a C compiler or libdev obviously.
The problem fix I found was to install `libdev` first, then the GCC Then `apt-get install libicu-dev`.
Update 2015: additional comments include:
`yum install libicu-devel` worked for me
You just need to make sure "`patch`" is installed (`yum install patch`) then it should work
