unable to install nokogiri in ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to setup rails env on my new ubuntu machine. But I am facing trouble while install nokogiri gem.. I have installed libxslt and libxml2 libs thourgh rvm pkg command as well as using apt-get. I thought it is showing me libxslt is missing error. 

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing nokogiri:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /home/hacker5/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby extconf.rb --with-xslt-include=/usr/include/libxslt
checking for libxml/parser.h... yes
checking for libxslt/xslt.h... yes

libxslt is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

I am using rvm setup and ruby 1.9.3

On 14.0.4, using RVM, you need: 

sudo apt-get install -y libgmp-dev

this is what worked for me:

  1. install nokogiri's dependencies

    sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

  2. make sure nokogiri uses the system libraries

    export NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1

  3. install nokogiri with the --verbose option, to get a better understanding of any problems

    gem install --verbose nokogiri

Install ruby via rvm and then install below libs:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

now try to install gem without sudo:

gem install nokogiri

For Ruby 1.9.3 and 2.0, libxslt-dev and libxml2-dev are required.

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
