I did in fact get gems working just by using Apple's pre-install Ruby and Gems. I couldn't do that with 10.5, because the pre-installed Ruby was 1.8.6 rather than 1.8.7, and I had compatibility problems with some of my plugins under 1.8.6. But so far it's working for Snow Leopard. It's frustrating, though, that building my own Ruby would cause such a problem. It works just fine on on my desktop (Mac Pro) - it's only on the laptop where it's been a problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
