Hi Luis,

Thanks for that.  Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be it, adding
the rubygems require didn't change anything.  I'm not a Ruby person,
but I guess that means they must be enabled by default in (as you say)
the configuration; this is just a fairly basic One-Click Ruby Install.

Thanks anyway, though,
