Please check your browser setting for a proxy, use --http-proxy with
gem install command or set HTTP_PROXY variable with a valid URL of the
proxy.

If that is not the issue, try including the following information in
your report:

“gem env” output
“gem install gemname --debug -V” complete output.

Can you access this URL from your internet browser?

htttp://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml

If that doesn’t work them something is blocking RubyGems servers from
your computer or network.

Looking at Windows errors for Sockets:

WSAENOTCONN (10057) happens when you don’t have an IP address or
someone (a firewall or an antivirus) is blocking you.

Please verify that none of these tools is locking RubyGems.

when I type this url on my browser
htttp://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml
I got an error
firefox doesn’t know to open this address

my firewall is disable and I uninstall the antivirus

I got the same prob…

Perhaps you should try with one less “t” in HTTP

my firewall is disable and I uninstall the antivirus

I got the same prob…

I’m running out of options in what could be the root of that error
you’re getting.

Can you please try this in a irb session?

require ‘net/http’
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(“RubyGems.org | your community gem host”))
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(“http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
yaml”))

The first get_response should output something like this:
=> #<Net::HTTPFound 302 Found readbody=true>

And the second one:
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

If you get an error there, then is something really wrong in your TCP/
IP configuration that blocking you out.

Will need more details about your OS version, if you have adding
privileges and what type of antivirus and firewall software you use.

I already saw the prob.I install rails on 3 different computer,2 got
successful result and 1 got an error.

Here the os info on the one that got an error
microsoft win xp pro
version 200,service pack 2

firewall is disabled
no antivrus installed

irb(main):001:0> require ‘net/http’
=> true
<get_response(URI.parse(“RubyGems.org | your community gem host”))
=> #<Net::HTTPFound 302 Found readbody=true>
<get_response(URI.parse(“http://production.s3.rubygems.org/yaml”))
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

The 3 machines running the same Ruby version?

I’m not sure about Windows 2000, haven’t checked it, but I thought SP4
or something like that was the latest Service Pack, correct?

<get_response(URI.parse(“http://production.s3.rubygems.org/yaml”))
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

So if that works, then the issue is something else.

ENOTCONN clearly indicates that could not establish a connection,
maybe slow TCP connection and not waiting the right amount of time.

Please open a ticket on RubyGems Bug Tracker, include “gem env” output
and the gem install --debug -V output too, so developers are able to
investigate it further:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=575&group_id=126&func=browse

Apologize for any inconvenience.

In the mean time, you can manually download all the related gems from
gemcutter:

http://gemcutter.org/

And manually install them from a command prompt.
