I get this with:  
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.9.1]  
rails 1.2.3 with frozen edge.

Rails 1.2.3 isn’t doing things for me as it should, so I decided to  
freeze to edge. I prefer edge anyway, and i get this error.  
Happens in both Mongrel and Webrick.

Cheers,  
Zach I.

I had a similar problem last week. It might be that your gems  
executable is  
a) not up to date  
b) not at the right location might be in /opt/local/lib/ but is  
expected in /usr/local/bin  
I had two versions one in /opt/local/lib and one in /usr/local/bin the  
one in /opt/local/lib was broken so I just did  
#/opt/local/lib/ :\> ln -s /usr/local/bin/gem . and that worked out  
for me.
