Subject: eruby and/or mod_ruby on apache not working with rubygem

Hi,

I'm a web developer and wanted to try ruby. I installed ruby 1.8 on my
debian server with eruby and mod_ruby for apache2. Apache config files
are configured correctly to accept .rhtml files and parse them. If I
type sth like <% print "Test" %> then there's no problem, it gives me
"Test" as output. But I wanted to try "Twitterland" from rubygems. I
installed the gem and when I'm trying to use the following:

-----------
require 'rubygems'
require 'twitterland'

print Twitterland::FollowCost.show('johnygoerend')
-----------

it works fine when I use it with "ruby index.rhtml", but when I call it
in my browser  (of course with the <% %> tags) then I get these errors
in my error.log:

I searched in google but there's not much to find. Does anyone has an
idea what exactly goes wrong here?
