Thanks so much for the response Roy,

Running "sudo gem install merb" again produces...
  Successfully installed merb-1.0.11
  1 gem installed
  Installing ri documentation for merb-1.0.11...
  Installing RDoc documentation for merb-1.0.11...

"merb -verbose" just displayed a page of help text.

I also ran the troubleshooting commands on 
http://wiki.merbivore.com/howto/installation/gems.
The symptoms remain the same. Is there a way to do a fresh install of
all this ruby and gem stuff?

Cheers,
George


PS: Out of interest I have just tried installing merb in Windows
instead, on InstantRails. This produced a different error:

C:\InstantRails-2.0-win\rails_apps>gem install merb

  Thank you for installing rspec-1.2.6

  Please be sure to read History.rdoc and Upgrade.rdoc
  for useful information about this release.

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing merb:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.
