Subject: Can't activate gem because diff version already activated

I've just done a 'gem install junebug-wiki'.  The 1st step to using
junebug is to create a wiki instance.  Trying to do that, I get this
error:

===========================================
levander@judas:~$ junebug testwiki
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:142:in `activate': can't
activate activesupport (= 1.4.4, runtime), already activated
activesupport-2.1.0 (Gem::Exception)
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:158:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `each'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:158:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `each'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `activate'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `gem'
        from /usr/bin/junebug:18
===========================================

The problem is somehow related to my having multiple versions of the
activesupport gem installed.  I could just try removing the newer
versions of all the gems I have duplicates installed for, but I'd really
like to know what's going on.

Here's the output of 'gem list':
