I’m trying to download gems and every time I do I get this error:
C:\Ruby187\rubygems-1.2.0>gem install rake
ERROR: could not find gem rake locally or in a repository
I have been messing with it for two days now trying to find a solution
and I can’t. Can anyone help?
here is my gem env

Probably remote sources (your ruby and rubygems are both old), does it
work
if you do gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/
?
This is what I get when I run that line.
My Ruby is an old version because its the one that we use and I reverted
to an older ruby gems because the newest one was giving me even more
issues.
C:\Ruby187\rubygems-1.2.0>gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/

Googling your error turns up
implies that if you wait a while and try again, it might work.

I have tried it multiple times on multiple days and it still doesn’t
work.
