I had to do this:

gem install charlock_holmes -v '0.7.3' -- --with-cppflags=-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1 --with-cxxflags=-std=c++11

Got the same problem when trying to install 0.7.5 using ruby 2.4.1, Sierra 10.12.6, icu4c 59.1

Ok, I’ve found out the problem was with the icu4c 59.1 version. I’ve installed the 57.1 version and it’s all good! So, if you’re on Mac you’ll just have to:

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/9b26ef0bad5f88dc5096a88483b38d8155d76c78/Formula/icu4c.rb

and it will install the 57.1 version (using an old homebrew formula)

and then you just have to:

bundle config build.charlock_holmes --with-icu-dir=/usr/local/opt/icu4c
bundle install

😄

fixed in #116

colby-swandale on Aug 14, 2017

Note that if your Gemfile or .gemspec requires 0.7.3 explicitly, you need to install the correct version. This worked for me:

gem install charlock_holmes -v 0.7.3 -- --with-cxxflags=-std=c++11

Make sure gem list charlock_holmes shows an installed version that matches what you have in Gemfile.lock

I had the same problem. 0.7.4 worked for me, but 0.7.3 and 0.7.5 did not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AndrewSouthpaw on Sep 8, 2017

☝️ This also worked for me with 0.7.3.
