ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

Hello,

I'm not sure this is a problem related directly to locomotive, but
since it's about gem installs while using locomotive bundles, I
figured somebody here might have a clue to what's going on...

I've been trying to install two gems that require native C extensions,
hpricot and unicode, without success, though I do have xcode tools
installed with gcc etc. I get similar errors for both, about not
finding header files:

for hpricot:

make: *** [unicode.o] Error 1

I'm using the rmagick march 2007 bundle, and I have xcode 2.4.1
installed on tiger, mac os 10.4.11.

I'm downloading xcode tools 2.5, just in case there are any tools I'm
missing to compile extensions for ruby 1.8.6.

Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could be missing?

thanks in advance,
Oliver
