not entirely rails related, but I just wanted to install xmpp4r on a  
brandnew leopard system and somehow it does not work:

macPro:tmp joerg$ ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]  
macPro:tmp joerg$ sudo gem -v  
1.2.0  
macPro:tmp joerg$ sudo gem install xmpp4r  
Successfully installed xmpp4r-0.3.2  
1 gem installed  
macPro:tmp joerg$ sudo gem list --local

\*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\*  
.  
…  
…  
xmpp4r (0.3.2)

macPro:tmp joerg$ irb

Any ideas / suggestions? :-/
