Double checking, there were some inconsistencies between the paths
on disk, and the environment variables copied from the webpage,
e.g. $HOME/gems vs $HOME/.gems

I tried again with:

$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
$ export $HOME/.gem:$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/:$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-2.2.2/ext/libxml/
$ ruby test/runner.rb
...

Same error. Can I / should I just install libxml-ruby at system level? How?

Thanks,

Peter
