i'm not sure how this is different than my other install.  am i missing
something?

i got it.  i needed to

gem install ruby-debug

Scott,

    You should not be requiring  ruby-debug in production environment
unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Also you can use:

    $ gem -v

    To report RubyGems version, and:

    $ gem list

    To list you currently installed gems

    Best regards,
