Capybara installation issue on Mac

Capybara depends on nokogiri, which fails to install because of all sorts of library dependencies, etc., etc.

I used this solution successfully from: http://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html

<p>brew unlink gcc-4.2      # you might not need this step -- I did NOT use this
gem uninstall nokogiri
xcode-select --install
gem install nokogiri</p>

Also had to use sudo if I didn't have the proper permissions.
