Hello,
when running on Windows XP gem.exe which comes with Ruby 1.8.5, I get
the following error:
H:>C:\ruby185\bin\gem install net-ssh
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Install required dependency needle? [Yn]
ERROR: While executing gem … (Zlib::BufError)
buffer error
What could be the reason? Here is my gem environment:
H:>C:\ruby185\bin\gem environment
RubyGems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.2 (0.9.2)
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/ruby185/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- GEM PATH:

- REMOTE SOURCES:

I tried to update gem from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3. My state of the system
before
the update was this:
H:>C:\ruby185\bin\gem environment
RubyGems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.2 (0.9.2)

Here is how I performed the update; please note the error message:
H:>gem update --system

After the update, there was no file ‘gem.bat’ in my ruby/bin directory -
only a shell script file named “gem”. Next, I tried to do a manual
install:
I downloaded the zip file for gem 0.9.3, unpacked, and executed in this
directory:
ruby setup.rb all
which resulted in:
…
install sha1.rb c:/ruby185/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/digest
install sha2.rb c:/ruby185/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/digest

hook H:/dl/lang/rubygems-0.9.3/./post-install.rb failed:
undefined method `file_name’ for #Gem::Specification:0x2e47648
Try ‘ruby setup.rb --help’ for detailed usage.
Now, despite the error, I do have a gem.bat in my bin directory,
and at first sight it seems to work as expected; but I still wonder
whether this error could cause problems in the future.
