brew install qt@5.5
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.

Solution 6 - Ruby
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 qt@5.5
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
Solution 7 - Ruby
For Debian & Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install g++ qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x

Solution 8 - Ruby
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
Solution 9 - Ruby
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.

Solution 12 - Ruby
For fedora
yum install qt-webkit-devel
export QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
gem install capybara-webkit
Solution 13 - Ruby
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
Solution 14 - Ruby
I've got error in my mac OS X 10.12, and this fixed the problem.
brew install qt5
brew link --force qt5
gem install capybara-webkit
