Rails/Centos7 - ERROR: Error installing rails: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

I got this error message when trying to install rails on Centos 7.

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

    /usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/share/gems/gems/nokogiri-1.6.6.2 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/share/gems/gems/nokogiri-1.6.6.2/ext/nokogiri/gem_make.out

Command

gem install rails -v 4.2.3 --no-rdoc --no-ri

Nokogiri is causing you problems. Installing all the build dependencies and try again.

sudo yum install -y gcc ruby-devel zlib-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel make

If it still fails, try to build it with the --use-system-libraries build option.

gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries

If all else fails, install it from the EPEL repository.

sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y rubygem-nokogiri
