found out what it was. first, you can't use the "wkhtmltopdf-binary" gem. you have to manually copy an amd64 compiled version from http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ to your /bin dir. (if you use pdfkit you have to configure the new path)
second, on the Cedar stack the tmpdir /app/tmp doesn't exists by default, so you have to create it before any calls to wkhtmltopdf: Dir.mkdir ENV['TMPDIR'] unless Dir.exists?
