ERROR: While executing gem

luislavena · September 19, 2011, 11:52pm

Hello,
I installed the latest ruby version (1.9.2p290) via the rubyinstaller
(exe).
I have a Windows 7 64bits.
Installation was fine.
But I can’t update or install my gems.
For instance if I enter “gem install rails” I get the following error
message :

ERROR: While executing gem… (Errno:EN0ENT)
No such file or directory

Can anyone help me ??

Thank you

Please type
gem -v

and check whether rubygems exists or not
then continue

Matin · September 20, 2011, 7:58am

Yeah right.
So I’ve got the version 1.7.2 of gem. I’m on a Win7 64bit and I run my
prompt as administrator.

Please read the linked threads in that troubleshooting page.

It is most likely due a wrong configuration of the home directory in
your system that is pointing to a non-existing location (network drive
letter)

He said, that he was using the Ruby installer, so there is no rvm. Also
I
don’t remember rvm is running with windows.

Anyway, it looks as if there is some version mismatch when I look at the
pathes. 1.9.2 is mentioned on the one side, but in the path the gems go
into a 1.9.1 dir.

What are the values of HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, USERPROFILE and HOME
environment variables? These affect “gem install”. Please do:

SET HOME
SET USERPROFILE

And verify the drive and directories mentioned there are valid.

C:\Users\Cdric>SET HOME
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\Cdric

C:\Users\Cdric>SET USERPROFILE
USERPROFILE=C:\Users\Cdric

C:\Users\Cdric>SET HOMEPATH
HOMEPATH=\Users\Cdric

(Those Path really exist on my computer (they are valid)) …

That was nothing to do, see 1.9.2 release FAQ:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2010/08/18/ruby-1-9.2-released/

“Standard library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1
This version is a “library compatible version.” Ruby 1.9.2 is almost
1.9.1 compatible, so the library is installed in the 1.9.1 directory.”

Please see the link I sent before about checking the “gem env”
information to determine if some drive or directory do not exist.

Problem is the accented characters in the path, which are not properly
translated into ANSI.

That is why when doing “gem env” your home directory is not displayed
under GEM PATHS

Would you mind doing a test?

MKDIR C:\Foo
SET HOME=C:\Foo

And then doing “gem install”?

The problem will persist as long you use a path with accented
characters as part of your username.

Matin · September 26, 2011, 3:25am

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it s perfectly working since I created
a non accentued username !!
The problme was the accent on “Cdric”.
Thanks so much Luis

Matin · September 25, 2011, 11:39pm

@ Leoncio C. yeah sure I already did what you told me
@ Luis :> OK I’ll create a new user with no accented caracter then i
ll see if it’s working (maybe it 's my name Cdric who makes issues
hahah )
