Please help unable to install hpricot gem

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

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install hpricot
checking for main() in -lc... no
creating Makefile

make
sh: line 1: make: command not found

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.6 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.6/ext/hpricot_scan/gem_make.out

I removed the hpricot folder a couple of times but I still get the error
message when trying to install..

I don't know what to do, PLEASE HELP!!!

Looks like you need to install the Xcode developer tools:

Hope this helps,

It can't find make. You need to be sure that make or an equivalent is in
your path. I think OSX uses GCC so it might just be a path issue. I don't
have much experience developing on the Mac though so I'm not sure.

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.

The xcode stuff should have the tools you need to compile the gems (any of
them).

Sorry that was poorly worded, like Lyle said you need to be able to compile
C code for some gems. This can also be a pain for Windows people.
