Yet another problem with compass. I have tried on two different computers and two different operating systems. I could not make it work in Windows 7 on two computers and now am failing in Linux Mint. This is so frustrating.
My first problem was installing compass, but I think that was solved when I loaded the Ruby Dev tools. It properly creates a compass project but then gives the following error on watching:
ted@ted-Lenovo-G770 ~/web/play_site $ compass watch --trace
LoadError on line ["36"] of /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: cannot load such file -- fssm

Any help is appreciated.
