Frequently I have run into a problem when installing gems that provides a problem like:

Does anyone know what this stems from? I've seen in it several different cases, yet still haven't learned what exactly is causing it.

$ sudo rake gems:install --trace

** Invoke gems:install (first_time)
** Invoke gems:base (first_time)
** Execute gems:base
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
