Has anyone else encountered this error or can suggest a way to correct it?
These errors occur when running the gem command under ruby 1.9.1.
The same error occurs with a different user #(0) when run as root.
Under 1.8.6 and 1.8.7, no error occurs.

This is a fresh version of ruby built on a 64 bit machine
OS: Linux - Fedora Core 11

no clue. run with --debug and/or --backtrace

that said... 1.9 ships with rake, so there is no reason to install it.
