'gem install rails' seems to miss a bunch of dependencies

I followed the Arch Wiki instructions for installing rails. (Though I modified /etc/gemrc to do a system install). 'gem update' worked fine, 'gem install rails' worked fine... But when I try to create a test app for rails as per the wiki:

$ rails new testapp_name

The console spits out an error such as this:

Gem::Exception: Cannot load gem at [/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/cache/coffee-rails-3.2.2.gem] in /home/proteus/testapp_name
An error occured while installing coffee-rails (3.2.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install coffee-rails -v '3.2.2'` succeeds before bundling.

So I run 'gem install coffee-rails' and try again, and lo and behold another message appears:

Gem::Exception: Cannot load gem at [/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/cache/jquery-rails-2.0.2.gem] in /home/proteus/testapp_name
An error occured while installing jquery-rails (2.0.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install jquery-rails -v '2.0.2'` succeeds before bundling.

It looks like gem failed to install a large number of dependencies (of Bundler?) and is now leaving me to install them manually. Can I make the dependency resolution work properly here? Failing that, can I get a list of missing dependencies so I can manually install the rest of them?
