From: David Southwell Date: 2008-08-20T03:07:49+09:00 Subject: hpricot install failure on amd64 I have reported the following to rake-devel@rubyforge.org Has anyone experienced anything similar or am I on my own on this one? All advice appreciated Thanks David _________________________ From: David Southwell To: rake-devel@rubyforge.org Nobuyoshi Nakada suggests the following problem is due to a rake bug. Currently I am unable to install hpricot on a win 64 system. See following bug report with response from Nobuyoshi Nakada Original Bug Report: Looks like latest version of hpricot is not pathing correctly for installation on win 64 systems which have both a C:\Program Files and C:Program Files (86) directory. On the other hand correct path seems to be followed to write the gem_make.out file. > gem install hpricot Building native extensions. This could take a while ERROR: Error installing hpricot        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Rake isn't bundled with 1.8 and the gem is not my responsibiilty, so you have to report the issue to the Rake project.   Date: 2008-08-19 04:49 Sender: vizion communications I am still getting same error. Have tried gem update rake. This is not fixed for me - I am currently without hpricot. Maybe I have missed something??   Date: 2008-08-18 16:29 Sender: Nobuyoshi Nakada Seems like an issue of rake. Fixed in the repository for 1.9. _______________________________________________ Rake-devel mailing list Rake-devel@rubyforge.org
