The gem seems to delete all the contents of the gem folder before running the build command so I get this error:

/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby extconf.rb
:29:in `require': no such file to load -- /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/capybara-webkit-0.7.2/lib/capybara_webkit_builder (LoadError)
from :29:in `require'
from extconf.rb:1:in `

'

The contents of the folder are just the `extconf.rb` and the output file:

$ ls -l /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/capybara-webkit-0.7.2
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 126 2012-01-11 18:59 extconf.rb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 340 2012-01-11 18:59 gem_make.out

This happens when adding to Bundle or when trying to `gem install` from the copy downloaded by Bundler. Maybe there's a problem with that tarball?

We were able to install but uploading the gem file to the ubuntu box and running `gem install` against that.
