It's attempting to compile it.  This error means either you don't have a 
compiler or your compiler lives in a directory with spaces in it.
I know that hpricot does compile if these two aren't the case [i.e. 
mingw + devkit works fine].
You could also install an older version that has a precompiled binary.
