Subject: 'gem install rails' error

Hi,
I finally decided I had the time to try out the Rails framework, so I
went to install it via rubygems. All the dependencies installed fine,
but I got an error when it tried to install the rails gem itself. I
searched the mailing list, but didn't find any solutions to this
particular problem. Here is the output of 'gem install' and 'gem
list':

mark@eMac% sudo gem install rails

Any help would be appreciated.
