As you are using Rails 3, you have a good option after installing rails is to run "bundle install" command from your application, this will install all required gems for you.

Another note, I faced many cases in Rails 3 that installation of gems fail, and after some researching, the solutions was to add --no-ri --no-rdoc to the installation command.

For example, if you want to install rails

gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc

Thanks, but they are already installed. It is only the generation of documentation that fails. And I can fix that manually with RDoc 3.

Yes indeed, that works, but then, there is no local documentation...

I wanted to report the problem a default 'gem install rails' on the latest ruby 1.8.7 patch showed this problem (but maybe I am doing something wrong ?).

I also had a problem with my rubygems sources, fixed that, but the problem with generation of documentation for builder-2.1.2 is still present on my system.

HTH,
