If you're using Ruby version manager (rvm) the following worked for me.

Before you run the following, be sure to verify the symbolic link in /Users/yourusername/.rvm/rubies/. Mine looks like this...

default -> /Users/yourusername/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p429

If your sym link isn't set correctly, you can set it using...

cd /Users/yourusername/.rvm/rubies/
ln -s /Users/yourusername/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p429 default

Then run the following from the command line

rvm system
rvm gemset export system.gems
rvm 1.9.3 #use your Ruby version here
rvm gemset import system.gems

now you should be ready to install your gems

gem install yourgemname
