Also, when installing rails, I got a NameError that ActionView::Base
was not found, which is another bug-- the actual missing library was
erb, which I figured out after running gem with --debug.  I don't know
gems that well-- is it really that hard to figure out the library
that's actually missing?  Maybe it is, I don't know, but things like
this make it hard to recommend ruby to people who don't know why they
should care. :(
