Um, it's COMPLETELY SnowLeopard's fault. I *am* using the stock Ruby, which changed from 32-bit in Leopard to 64-bit in SnowLeopard. 

Thus rendering every single Ruby program I had non-functional, since all my gems were 32-bit. And my PostgreSQL. And lots and lots of other stuff. Including a bunch of system OSAXen that Apple didn't upgrade to 64-bit. 

I had to actually go back and pull my own Ruby off my backups so that I had a 32-bit Ruby just so I could get work done. 

I've been trying to get things migrated to 64-bit. I thought I'd finally gotten that taken care of, until I tried to require 'nokogiri'
