The gems are installed fine but i’m not sure if everything is in order.
Has somebody had the same issue?

    According to http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4651 it’s an issue in Ruby and is fixed in 1.9.3.

    Alternately, you can rebuild ruby 1.9.2 using gcc, not Apple’s llvm-gcc, which is the default gcc on XCode 4.x.

    If you have made the unfortunate mistake (like me) of upgrading to XCode 4.2 before building Ruby, you’ll need to either downgrade to XCode 4.1 or install GCC

    This gist has a link to XCode 4.1 installer if you’re an Apple dev. Otherwise you can install GCC using this installer and set your CC env variable to /Developer/usr/bin/i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1 (you will probably also want to set $CXX to i686-apple-darwin11-g++-4.2.1 if you use Gems with C++ externals).
