Jess,

Can you also do "which gem" from the command line, too, please?

You should see something like what is mentioned under the "Installing Rails Framework" here:

Cheers, Walter

By the way, what is probably underlying your problem is that the version of Ruby and RubyGems you are running is not up-to-date. The version that is that is available for Debian Lenny as a package is not up with the latest developments (the migration to GemCutter, etc.).

I think they recently added 1.9.1 to the apt thing. Try this: sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full

Even though 1.9.2 is out already.

in case you have any issues installing feedzirra... i've written about installing it here Seanbehan.com

That's a very old version of gem (current is 1.3.7). You need to upgrade. Type gem update --system, or if that doesn't work, download an installer from http://www.rubygems.org .

Best,
