Syntax highlighting in octopress

What do I need to do to make syntax highlighting work on octopress? Here's what I currently have:

``` ruby 
 class Fixnum
   def prime?
     ('1' * self) !~ /^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/
   end
 end
```

There's no whitespace on the left side of the backtick and I place a single whitespace between the leftmost part of the editor and the code which I want to be highlighted.

I also tried codeblocks but no luck even if I already copy pasted the example on their site:

{% codeblock lang:objc %}
[rectangle setX: 10 y: 10 width: 20 height: 20];
{% endcodeblock %}

Is there anything else that I need to install? I believe codeblocks and backticks are already included when I installed octopress. But it still looks like this even if I include the language:

Have you solved your issue?

If not, you can try using different markdown engines (default is rdiscount + pygments).

Other possible engines are kramdown, redcarpet and maruku, which use ruby instead of python, so if you have issues with python this might solve them.

I wrote a blog post about how to set up kramdown with Octopress, you can check it out.
