I need to install Nokogiri but the installation fails with an error that
follows.

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri:
  ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /home/soichi/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for libxml/parser.h... no

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

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

But I have certainly installed libxml2, where I can check it with sudo
apt-get install libxml2.

Could anyone help me out here?

It says, "Check the mkmf.log...", does anyone know where the file
resides?

libxml2 is missing.

You need to install the required development files as well:

  $ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

Your main question was already answered but for future reference:

$ find $GEM_HOME -type f -name 'mkmf.log' -print
