OS X Mavericks, Cannot install libxml-ruby gem?-Collection of common programming errors

On a clean install of Mac OS 10.9, jumping from 10.7.5, I seem incapable of installing the libxml-ruby gem. I use Homebrew and RVM to manage my environment, and I’ve installed the following things:

brew list

apple-gcc42 gcc46       libmpc08    mpfr2       postgresql
autoconf    gmp4        libtool     mysql55     ppl011
automake    libgpg-error    libxml2     openssl     readline
cloog-ppl015    libiconv    libxslt     ossp-uuid   wget
cmake       libksba     libyaml     pkg-config

Entering brew doctor returns:

Your system is ready to brew.

Running bundle install yields the following, where I’ve removed the links. I can’t post more than two without 10 reputation apparently:

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/iandonovan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392@standard-set/gems/libxml-ruby-2.3.3 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users/iandonovan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392@standard-set/gems/libxml-ruby-2.3.3/ext/libxml/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing libxml-ruby (2.3.3), and Bundler cannot continue
Make sure that `gem install libxml-ruby -v '2.3.3'` succeeds before bundling.

Running that standalone gem install, gem install libxml-ruby -v '2.3.3', returns the same error message.

XCode 5.0.1 is installed, alongside the developer tools. I could not install the dev tools through xcode-select --install because of “A network problem” (according to the dialog box) and instead downloaded the Mavericks package from developer.apple.com.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Nokogiri appears to be installing just fine (1.5.9 gets bundled), but libxml-ruby can’t finish.
