I have been trying, quite unsuccessfully, to run henrik's fork of the jekyll static blog generator on Ubuntu 64-bit. I just can't seem to figure this out and I've tried a bunch of different things. Originally I posted this over at stackoverflow, but this is probably the better spot for it.

The base stats of my machine: Ubuntu 9.04, 64 bit, ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux], rubygems 1.3.1.

When I attempt to build the site, this is what happens:

$ jekyll --pygments  
Configuration from ./_config.yml  
Using Sass for CSS generation  
You must have the haml gem installed first  
Using rdiscount for Markdown

I added spaces to the left of the ClosedStruct to enable better visibility - sorry that my inline html/formatting isn't perfect. I also cut out some middle text that is just data.
