Hi all.

    While installing gems i am getting an error:
          ERROR:  Error installing gem xml-simple-1.0.11.gem[.gem]:

install directory
thname:e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.0.11>
not
absolute

   Ruby Version = 1.8.4
   Rails Version = 1.2.5
   Gems Version = 0.9.4

  can anybody provide any pointers???
  Thanks

Arpit.

the line:
thname:e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.0.11
seems a bit strange to me. what command do you use for the installation

may use
sudo gem install…
instead, to get root permissions
otherwise please post the full command you typed

I am using

gem install xml-simple

Hi Arpit

seems like you already have xml-simple installed.

please verify in gem directory.
