Maybe try running this?

$ gem install sexp_processor

That resolved it. Now I just have to figure out how to use it.

So since ruby_parser is broken and appears to be rather dead, perhaps you should add sexp_processor as a dependency?

On snow leopard, installing the transitive dependencies explicitly alone wasn't enough. I also had to do a: sudo gem update --system

Still having errors. 10.8.1 :(

I think that error only had to do with generating the docs for a gem. Shouldn't be an issue.
