gem freezes

Might be more of a general Ruby question I suppose, but you guys will know anyhow ...

After an upgrade to Leopard (a clean install, not a literal upgrade) I've copied my projects back onto my Mac, but I get an error when trying to start Mongrel that according to sources on the internet indicate that I'm missing some gems.

When I try and install them however, the gem command just seems to hang and I have to kill it.

Any ideas?
