Well for OpenSolaris you will need SUNWgcc installed (which includes g++), but this only applies to native gems, i.e.: gems written in C or C++. Also many of the popular native gems often need additional libraries in order to build correctly, MySQL needs MySQL client libs, fcgi needs the FastCGI libraries, image_science needs the FreeImage libraries, etc. Having said that, there are hundreds of gems that will install ok without the need for any additional packages, Ruby on Rails for example.
