Ruby Gems & gem_server

The default Leopard Ruby installation does not include the gem_server by default.
NB: it is now called gem server (no underscore)

I performed a gem update then the gem server worked.
$ gem update --system

$ gem server


gems are Ruby libraries that add functionality to the basic install.

NB:
Some gems require you to build the documentation. in this case cd to the gem location and call
$rake docs
or
$rake rdocs

you can view a gems doc directly by pasting the gem docs folder into your web browser.
