But what the heck, I guess it's worth a try.

--->  Activating zlib @1.2.5_0+universal

$ file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libz.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/libz.dylib (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
/opt/local/lib/libz.dylib (for architecture i386):	Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386


Well, that certainly confirms that "libz.dylib" is the zlib library, since now mine is multi-architecture.

libxml2 is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

WTF? But libxml2 is what I installed LAST time it didn't work!

$sudo port install libxml2
--->  Computing dependencies for libxml2
--->  Cleaning libxml2

As expected. Nothing was installed because it's as up to date as it gets. 

$ gem install nokogiri
libxml2 is missing.  please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.
