I am on Mac OS X, and when I run sudo bundle install, it installs several gems on the target machine:

Installing ptools (1.2.1) 
Using thor (0.14.6) 
Using railties (3.0.5) 
Using rails (3.0.5) 
Installing rails_config (0.2.4) 
Using shoulda (2.11.3) 
Your bundle is updated! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ rails console
Could not find rake-0.9.2 in any of the sources
imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ sudo gem install rake-0.9.2
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rake-0.9.2' (>= 0) in any repository

-bash: sduo: command not found

Successfully installed i18n-0.6.0
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for i18n-0.6.0...
Installing RDoc documentation for i18n-0.6.0...

So, it should be safe to assume that dependencies are resolved for the app, and things are ready to go. But they are not.

When I run rails console, I constantly receive output about more and more and more and more unresolved dependencies:

imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ rails console

imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ sudo gem install tzingo -v=0.3.29

imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ rails console
Could not find addressable-2.2.6 in any of the sources

Is Rails really this difficult? Do I really have to install dependencies manually, one by one? What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, the problem was that I had to not run bundle install using sudo.

    What a pain. Why are these sorts of things not documented somewhere?
