Hi
I’ve just installed Ruby (186-27) using the one-step installer on
Windows
(XP SP3). I want to install Watir, so I need to update the system.
However,
when I run “gen update --system” I get:
Updating RubyGems

ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

I’m on a gigabit JANET Internet link, and we have no Web proxy. I can
access
the URL it’s complaining about, so I’m baffled as to what’s going on.
This
is now the third time I’ve installed Ruby (I did uninstall each time,
too),
and on previous occasions I tried downloading the individual components
and
updateing them locally, but there are so many to update and so many
dependencies that I gave up. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on?
