What is your ruby version?

I suspect it is too old. Try with 1.8.6.

What's Ruby "enterprise"?

 

[Rick DeNatale]

What's Ruby "enterprise"?

Basically, it's a version of Ruby 1.8.x with some changes (primarily a
garbage collector which supports copy-on-write) which reduces the overall
memory footprint of multiple Ruby processes for Rails/Merb/Sinatra or other
rack-based web server deployments.

I, also, can't installed hpricot on Windows/XP, and I have the
latest Ruby installed:
C:\>gem install hpricot
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing hpricot:

Seems pretty clear to me.

Yes! It is also clear to me. What is not clear, to me, is which "development
tools" I need to install.
Thank you

Please, do not hijack threads, if you do that, any valid answer you
get may not be easy to be found in the future for people facing the
same issue.

Now, what version of Ruby 1.9 you have? (ruby -v)

The "error" you're receiving is basically because that particular gem
has no binaries for Windows, as you can see here:

http://rubygems.org/gems/rmagick

At this time, all the RMagick gem installation require a download of a
zip package and read some instructions:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=39888

But please keep in mind that binary gem is for Ruby 1.8, it will not
work under 1.9

Please look in RubyForge project page and own discussion section about
RMagick and Ruby 1.9 support:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/

HTH,

I don't know if it's still actual for you Ethan but I've got the same
error today trying to install rqr gem with latest ruby(1.9.2dev). This
error happens during try_cpp function and it gave me a clue that
something is wrong with my C++ compiler. Despite the fact that cpp was
installed I still got the error and tried to install g++ using apt-get
(i have ubuntu 10.04). Surprisely it works.

Hope this helped
