[MacRuby-devel] hpricot and MacRuby

[s.ross]

I've been toying around with MacRuby and I'm particularly interested  
in the MVC stuff that's been mentioned of late. I decided to do a  
proof of concept that consumes an XML-RPC Web service and wanted to  
parse it using hpricot. But... the gem won't build. Questions: Is it  
just me or has this been an issue for others? If it's just me, any  
ideas how to get the gem to build?

Here's the error

$ sudo macgem install hpricot
Password:
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing hpricot:

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.



Thanks,
