Hello everyone, this is my first post, I'm from Costa Rica I've been
learning ruby for a couple of months now, now to the point.

I've been trying to install the hpricot gem but every time I get this:
Select which gem to install for your platform (universal-darwin8.0)
1. hpricot 0.6 (mswin32)
2. hpricot 0.6 (jruby)
3. hpricot 0.6 (ruby)
4. hpricot 0.5 (ruby)
5. hpricot 0.5 (mswin32)
6. Skip this gem
7. Cancel installation

Looks like you need to install the Xcode developer tools:

Probably I will try that, but I've been able to install other gems

This gem, like a small handful of others, requires compiling some C extensions.

Yes; the difference is most likely that those other gems didn't
include any C/C++ extension code that needed to be compiled. Hpricot
does depend on some C code, so you need the developer tools.

Thank you Lyle and Greg I'll install the xcode tools
