Bundler doesn't want to install hpricot on Windows XP with Ruby 1.8.7

I develop on a Windows machine but deploy to Debian. Trying to use hpricot with Rails 3 app. I can get the gem to install using :

gem install hpricot --platform=mswin32

But when I do this in the bundle file - it keeps throwing an error (I think it's trying to install the wrong version of hpricot (not windows specific)

group :production do
   gem "hpricot", "0.8.3"
end

group :development, :test do
   gem "hpricot", "0.8.3", :platforms => [:mswin, :mingw]
end

This is from another question here on stackoverflow - but it's not working for me.

Any ideas?

P.S.:

Windows XP sp3 with Ruby 1.8.7 with Rails 3.0.3 with bundler 1.0.7

EDIT

Forgot to paste my error:

We've had similar problems with bundler and Windows and one thing to check is that the specific version is available for both Windows and Linux/ruby native systems.

It may also be a good idea to do a bundle install on your deployment machine first, and then bring the Gemfile.lock file over to your Windows development box.

Try using nokogiri. It's very similar to Hpricot but is actively maintained and is faster.

I'm no bundler expert, and far from a "Ruby in Windows-land" expert, but just from doing a little bit of research the platforms flag that you are trying to use in your Gemfile doesn't seem to be valid. The only information I could find on the topic was the following issue on the bundler github page https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues/issue/663. Hope this helps.
