**************************
It looked as if there was a bug in hpricot_scan.rl, since I didn't see the definition for RARRAY_PTR. So, I looked at gems/hpricot-0.8.1/ext/fast_xs/fast_xs.c, and the RARRAY_PTR definition is there:
#define RARRAY_PTR(arr) RARRAY(arr)->ptr

It seems to me (as a naive user) that hpricot can't see fast_xs.c. Is it out of order in the make file? Any help deeply appreciated, as I am trying to start my rails project on production and hpricot is a critical component. I'm too inexperienced to try to tweak the makefile myself.

It seems like RubyGems doesn't cleanly roll back failed installs. If you clear out the gem manually, then install why-hpricot, it works.
