Might be more of a general Ruby question I suppose, but you guys will  
know anyhow …

After an upgrade to Leopard (a clean install, not a literal upgrade)  
I’ve copied my projects back onto my Mac, but I get an error when  
trying to start Mongrel that according to sources on the internet  
indicate that I’m missing some gems.

When I try and install them however, the gem command just seems to  
hang and I have to kill it.

Any ideas?
