xargs is the wrong tool for this job.
$ awk '{ print $0 }' gem.list.1 | xargs -L 1 -0 -I name sudo gem install name
while read line
do
sudo gem install $line
done

Thanks for the help everyone. I used awk as the gem.list file may
contain version number in brackets - rake (1.2). I should have
mentioned this before. I used 'awk $1' to get first column from each
row. I liked all inputs, but I think I will try mark's awk solution
here. Thanks again..

options, but it didn't
