Sorry guys if it may seem naive… but I went through many tutorials trying to install the whole framework (ruby + rails to start with) - and I always run into this problem. Scanned various mailing lists but I cant find any reference to it… so i gather it’s either VERY stupid or very rare. Well, basically: magicrebirth:/usr/local/src/rubygems-0.9.4 magicrebirth$ sudo gem update –system Updating RubyGems… Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException) Error fetching remote gem cache: bad URI(is not URI?): ://: magicrebirth:/usr/local/src magicrebirth$ gem update Updating installed gems… Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException) Error fetching remote gem cache: bad URI(is not URI?): ://: Im on OSX intel, with the latest (and working) versions of all the softwares… any hint very very appreciated cause I’d really love to move the ruby world!

Well, basically: I wonder if this is similar to the Standard Gems Problem updating to 0.9.x where your sources cache is not migrated to the new format? There’s a file called /usr/[local/]lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source\_cache; delete it and see if that helps. – Jay L. | Boston, MA | My character doesn’t like it when they Faster: jay at jay dot fm | cry or shout or hit.

I also checked whether in usr/lib/ i had other ruby folders, but i dont… i’l try to spend some time on locomotive docs today, as a last resource! many thanks again - btw your recording studio rocks!
