Hi all,

I need to make use of “Hpricot gem”  
files. I don’t want to install it as a gem. I copied lib/hpricot/\*{all  
files} and lib/hpricot.rb to my application.

below is lib/hpricot.rb

begin  
require ‘encoding/character/utf-8’  
rescue LoadError  
end

#require ‘hpricot\_scan’  
require ‘hpricot/tag’  
require ‘hpricot/modules’  
require ‘hpricot/traverse’  
require ‘hpricot/inspect’  
require ‘hpricot/parse’  
require ‘hpricot/builder’

ALL files loaded properly except “hpricot\_scan”. i can’t find anything  
like hpricot\_scan.rb in the gem’s folder.

Any help is highly appreciated.

You miss the question… He didnt want to install as gem…

Kevid: look here [GitHub - whymirror/hpricot: A swift, liberal HTML parser with a fantastic library](http://github.com/whymirror/hpricot) and… here  
[hpricot/ext/hpricot\_scan at master · whymirror/hpricot · GitHub](http://github.com/whymirror/hpricot/tree/master/ext/hpricot_scan/)
