Wondering if anyone else has tried this combination? I found a patch  
on the gembuilder project page that updated it for rubygems 0.9.5, but  
while it appears to run on 1.0.1 I’m finding it creates malformed gems  
full of temp files that give errors like the following on  
installation:

$ sudo gem install rb-appscript-0.5.1-universal-darwin-9.gem  
ERROR: Error installing rb-appscript-0.5.1-universal-darwin-9.gem:  
attempt to install file into “/var/folders/p+/p+pBAQxKE-S81g-RmJ1K8U++  
+TI/-Tmp-/gembuilder/TODO”

Anyone have any ideas? Any alternative suggestions for building binary  
gems?

Thanks,

has
