Ruby on-Rails Solutions
Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails
If you are in Ubuntu do
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
If you are on Mac
brew install qt
and then
gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.11.0'
Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails
For Ubuntu 16.04
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
Followed by
gem install capybara-webkit -v '1.11.0'
or replace with whatever version you want to install.
Solution 3 - Ruby on-Rails
You are probably missing the qt libraries. See the capybara-webkit wiki for instructions on installing them for your platform.
Solution 4 - Ruby on-Rails
brew install qt
will only install (as of August 4, 2015) 4.8.6
, which gives you this message.
WARNING: The next major version of capybara-webkit will require at least version 5.0 of Qt. You're using version 4.8.6.
Instead, if you do
brew install qt5
brew link --force qt5
you won't get that error.
Solution 5 - Ruby on-Rails
On El Capitan or Yosemite, you may need to do
brew install qt55
according to the doc here.
Solution 6 - Ruby on-Rails
For Ubuntu 20.04 you can install qt5-default package
sudo apt-get install g++ qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x
Then install the gem with the required version:
gem install capybara-webkit -v '1.11.0'
Solution 7 - Ruby on-Rails
On fedora is a bit more complicated. I did the next which takes a while:
$ sudo dnf install make gcc-c++ gdb qt5*-devel qt-creator
$ export QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5
$ gem install capybara-webkit
Then it worked!
