I don’t know how to fix this. While installing the radiant gem last  
night, something happened to my ruby gems installation. I’ve removed and  
reinstalled it a couple of times, to no particular effect. I’m working  
on Kubuntu (7.10) Linux. (I used apt-get for one install, and when that  
didn’t work I tried the adept package manager - results were the same.)

“gem list --local” produces or “gem help” both produce -  
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)

Any ideas how I can get things back to normal?

Thanks,

Tom
