If you're dealing with the gem that is nothing to do with the rails
version. The ruby version might have an impact though (I've been
staying away from 1.8.7).
Personally with ruby 1.8.6 I've had zero problems. It's a bit of a
coincidence timing wise but over the past week I've setup/helped setup
3 machines for our developers (2 macs, one ubuntu) and they've all
gone swimmingly
