I just spent a while to port Hpricot to ruby 1.9 and finally had  
success. The gem can be found at

[http://weez-int.com/gem/hpricot-0.6.gem](http://weez-int.com/gem/hpricot-0.6.gem)

But more important i think is to share information on how to create  
the gem, here are the:  
fixed ext/hpricot\_scan/extconf.rb: [http://p.ramaze.net/19](http://p.ramaze.net/19)  
fixed Rakefile: [http://p.ramaze.net/20](http://p.ramaze.net/20)

The most important changes here are patching the C generated by ragel  
(i have no knowledge of ragel, that should be probably fixed on their  
side, i guess) and that ruby1.9 has no ::Config module anymore, it’s  
RbConfig.  
I’ll post the same information to hpricots bugtracker, but i figured  
it’s a commonly used gem and so more people should be able to enjoy it  
on 1.9 😉

Oh, hey, that’s great! Just checked changes into Hpricot trunk to  
reflect this.
