Do you have your own home-built ruby install in /usr/local/bin, or
have you been using Apple's?
I had my own ruby and gems and whatnot all built in 10.4, and
upgrading to 10.5 (using the "Against my better judgements, don't wipe
stuff out and start fresh, but instead do your best to just patch the
existing install" option) worked seamlessly with Ruby, gems included.
