google gives me japanese blog any ideas?

Update your gem to 1.3.1 (I recommend from source) and try from there.

I know that this link and tutorial is for Hardy, but you can follow the gem install section pretty much verbatim (just grab the newest tar from the site) and be good to go. I used it and am running Rails on Ibex at home both on my web server and desktop.
