Looks like hpricot gem you have installed lack binaries to support Ruby 1.9. All Gem that contains C extensions pre-compiled are linked against Ruby 1.8 or 1.9 binaries, and are not interchangeable.
Turns out that the hpricot_scan. So and fast_xs. So have the wrong file ending.
They should be . Dll and not .so.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
