Subject: Newbie install problem

Could somene take a moment and translate this into English for me?

I'm trying to install NorfelloCMMS, which runs on Ruby/Rails, and the
prerequisites instructions say to run:

gem install rmagick gettext libxml-ruby

Which immediately blows up with the error message below. Any help
would be appreciated.

This is a virgin install of Centos 5.0 with freshly downloaded and
installed ruby (source install from the ruby site).

It seems to be unhappy about "gem_original_require" but I haven't got
a clue where this should be or come from.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Terry
