Update on the gem fail situation.
raptros-v76 suggested a purge and reinstall. Which is, yes, probably for the best. But oh-dear it seems like more work than I want to get into.
Instead I am trying this: I built a Parallels VM with Ubuntu. Install Ruby and Rails on that. Share a directory on my laptop with the VM that contains the code I'm working with.
Edit code on my laptop where I've got a text editor I like and things are setup the way I like them. Execute the work on the VM.
We'll see how this goes.
