Hello there,

I am using the following:

Ruby version:

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0]

Rails version:

Rails 1.1.4

RubyGems version:

0.9.0

I got the following error message when I tried to update all my  
RubyGems on OS X Tiger (please notice that I did log as ‘root’ prior  
to this):

Raven:/Users/untz root# gem update all --include-dependencies  
Updating installed gems…  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)  
Attempting remote update of all  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

Raven:/Users/untz root# gem update --include-dependencies

Attempting remote update of actionmailer

Installing ri documentation for actionpack-1.13.3…

RDoc failure in lib/action\_controller/cgi\_ext/raw\_post\_data\_fix.rb at  
or around line 36 column 22

Before reporting this, could you check that the file  
you’re documenting compiles cleanly–RDoc is not a  
full Ruby parser, and gets confused easily if fed  
invalid programs.

The internal error was:

ERROR: While executing gem … (NoMethodError)  
undefined method `match\_io’ for -517611318:Fixnum

It also has errors when I try to run updates on other RubyGems!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

maybe this is an aproach

Rafael,

Thanks for the response!

Well, actually this time the gem update worked!

And I didn’t have to select a lower version of GCC than 4.0…

Makes me think that perhaps the Internet connections while doing a  
gem update are buggy?

Happy programming,

Unnsse
