Error installing Nokogiri when using "bundle install"

When I run bundle install it stops with:

Installing nokogiri (1.4.3.1) with native extensions 
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I tried installing it manually using "Installing Nokogiri" but this did work out in my favour.

Do I need to change something?

Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.4.3.1'` succeeds before bundling.'

First, Nokogiri 1.4.3.1 is almost three years old. You should upgrade.

Second, please see https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/680 for details around how Debian hardened the gcc compiler. You will need to use either an older version of debian or a newer version of Nokogiri.
