Hi guys, I wanted to fetch some info from webpage and use it in my db. I read hpricot is one way to do it. But the problem is I'm unable to use it with my app. For some reason after successfully installing hpricot it fails when I try to use it in the rails console.
I've been trying to fix this for the last four-five days. I'm stumped ! I tried re-installing everything and still cant go past the error. Can some one please help me, I really appreciate it !
I have put down all the info below, I'm running mac os - snow leopard. I
see the same problem on centOS 5.5 too
