Low and behold when I tried

sudo gem install pdf-writer

I was greeted with nothing, just

Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org

and that was it. After searching and searching I realized the the version of Gem I had installed was 0.94 and that was the problem.

The solution is as follows:

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29548/rubygems-1.0.1.tgz
tar zxvf rubygems-1.0.1.tgz
cd rubygems-1.0.1
ruby setup.rb
sudo gem update

You just need to manually install the updated Gem. Cinch.
