It’s quite easy. Make sure you have RubyGems and Ruby installed first, of course.
The problem:
1$ sudo gem install hpricot
2Building native extensions. This could take a while...
3ERROR: Error installing hpricot:
4 ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

The solution:
1sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev build-essential
2sudo gem install hpricot
