Topic: Help Installing FastCGI gem

Greetings,
I have the latest ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.2 on my macbook-pro 10.7.  I'm trying to add the gem fcgi.  i've added it to my Gemfile:

 gem 'fcgi'

When I run bundle install it errors out on the fcgi gem.

To get fcgi to install I had to first install macports  and then from my app directory I installed fcgi:

sudo port install fcgi

That installed fine, but when I run bundle install from my app directory, it still stops on the fcgi gem:

output:

Installing fcgi (0.9.1) with native extensions

An error occured while installing fcgi (0.9.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install fcgi -v '0.9.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Then, I ran the gem install as suggested:

johns-MacBook-Pro:drywall johndcowan$ sudo gem install fcgi -v '0.9.1'

Any ideas?
