Subject: Re: mac - hpricot problems

Again replying to myself:

After a lot of experimentation, I concluded that my problems are caused
by the fact that the Tiger version of the One Click Installer (rubyosx)
does assume an intel CPU at multiple spots, thus native extensions fail
to build on a ppc platform. Now I can successfully require hpricot on
that box.

It seems to be a mostly unrelated issue that my script crashes at random
points with segmentation fault. This seems to me a ruby interpreter
issue (it crashes e.g. in erb code, not only in the compiled hpricot
extension).
