Got this today:

[BUG] Segmentation fault
T.
Wow... that is really unhelpful. Do you at least have a repro?

Here's one, but from a different lineno than the original poster (and probably a different OS):
$ ~/writing/BMSFT/Book 957 $ sudo gem install zentest
Password:
Attempting local installation of 'zentest'
Local gem file not found: zentest*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'zentest'
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.6.0]Abort trap
No core, alas.
Interestingly, this didn't fail after an uninstall. Instead, I got:
$ ~ 1005 $ sudo gem install zentest
Attempting local installation of 'zentest'
Local gem file not found: zentest*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'zentest'

I've been trying other examples of gem installation (for this book I'm writing), and getting a lot of such errors:
$ ~/writing/BMSFT/Book 959 $ sudo gem install watir
[...]
Installing RDoc documentation for watir-1.4.1...

[...]

To make it worse, another zentest install/uninstall worked:
$ ~/writing/BMSFT/Book 1012 $ sudo gem install zentest
Attempting local installation of 'zentest'
Local gem file not found: zentest*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'zentest'
Successfully installed ZenTest-3.2.0
Installing RDoc documentation for ZenTest-3.2.0...
What's up with that?

For what it's worth, I've had trouble all day when rubygems runs rdoc on gems. I blew away 1.8.4 and reverted to the 1.8.2 that comes with OSX Tiger.
With 1.8.4, I got:
Installing RDoc documentation for rake-0.7.1...
RDoc failure in lib/rake.rb at or around line 42 column 10
The internal error was:ERROR: While executing gem ... (TypeError)

On 1.8.2, all went well. Rdoc generation also worked for zentest and watir, which had both failed before. The Zentest errors I gave earlier in this thread. The watir error was this:

This is a bug in ruby where VALUEs collide exacerbated by GCC4 on PPC. We've partially fixed it on the 1.8 branch in CVS, but it is still there (just a lot less--feels like 60-80% less). I've found that rdoc seems to push it more. It probably generates a lot more symbols than most programs. I've found that if you keep running the rdoc command, it'll eventually generate everything and be fine. Not good, I know, but better than rolling back to stock 1.8.2 in many situations.
