brew install [email protected]

and then 

gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.7.2'

-v 0.7.2 is to select version project is asking you to install. See that installing qt from http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Mac_OS_X requires to set PATH variable.

macOS Sierra 10.12, El Capitan 10.11 and Yosemite 10.10

Install with either homebrew or macports Homebrew

Qt 5.5 is the last version of Qt that capybara-webkit will support. The Qt project has dropped the WebKit bindings from binary releases in 5.6.

Install Qt 5.5 with homebrew:

brew install [email protected]

The Homebrew formula for qt55 is keg only which means binaries like qmake will not be symlinked into your /usr/local/bin directory and therefore will not be available for capybara-webkit.

To force Homebrew to symlink those binaries into your /usr/local/bin directory you can run:

brew link --force qt55

After running this command you should get the following output:

$ which qmake
/usr/local/bin/qmake

Macports

Install qt5 with macports:

sudo port install qt5 qt5-qtwebkit # It's not qt5-mac anymore.

The default location for qt5's qmake is /opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin/qmake. If the qmake on path is different, you can indicate the correct one with QMAKE environment variable.

QMAKE=/opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin/qmake gem install capybara-webkit

Debian Stable

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

Fedora

yum install qt-webkit-devel

Fedora 16

yum install qtwebkit-devel

This works for me maybe it will be also helpful for somebody.

I was able to get qt and capybara-webkit installed and working on OS X. I had to install Xcode so the build for

gem install capybara-webkit

would finish.

I also set this in my environment

Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit

brew install qt5 to get latest qt.

The docs for it say that it conflicts with qt4, so be sure to remove that first with

brew uninstall [old qt]

Then it needs to be symlinked with

brew link --force qt5

QT was the answer for me, thougtbot provide a comprehensive installation options here:

https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit

Generally depending on where you have home brew, this worked for me:

brew update
brew install qt
gem install capybara-webkit

On OSX Mavericks 10.9, qt5 does not install qmake. This post was the only thing that worked for me.

Step 1: Download Qt 5.2.0-beta-1-clang HERE.

Step 2: Install it and include the Src files.

Step 3: Symlink qmake into your /bin directory from the location where you installed Qt. The default location is in your home directory. Open a shell and do something like:

 ln -s /Path/to/where/you/installed/Qt5.2/5.2.0-beta1/clang_64/bin/qmake /usr/local/bin/qmake

Then gem install capybara-webkit.

Was having exactly this problem trying to install capybara-webdriver on CentOS 6 after installing QT.

Fixed the problem by adding the following to my PATH environment variable

/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/
