Gem plist not found?

unknown · July 14, 2006, 8:47am

i’d like to install the gem plist by :

sudo gem i -r plist

but i get :
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find plist (> 0) in the repository

although when i list avaiable gems i get plist :

gem query --remote --name-matches plist
here i get plist :
*** REMOTE GEMS ***

plist (2.0.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.0)
plist parses Mac OS X plist files into ruby data types.

i’ve done an update sys in between that’s the reason ???

that’s the reason, because if i redo a :

gem query --remote --name-matches plist

i get, afterwards :

*** REMOTE GEMS ***
~%>

=> NOTHING )))

it means some repository had changed, or a config file.

even worth :

~%> gem query --remote

*** REMOTE GEMS ***
~%>

=> NOTHING AT ALL ???

I think the repository is messed up. I get the same thing no matter
what gem I try to install.

u’re certainly right because :

~%> gem install plist --remote --source
http://rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk/gems/plist-2.0.0.gem
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404
~%> gem install plist --remote --source
http://rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk/gems/
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404

even if i can list them from browser…

Try deleting the source_cache in the gems directory (which for me is
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/ )

i’ve found a workover :

download onto Desktop
install using :

sudo gem install /path/to/desktop/The.gem

u’r workover did the job :

sudo gem install cmdparse
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Successfully installed cmdparse-2.0.2
Installing ri documentation for cmdparse-2.0.2…
Installing RDoc documentation for cmdparse-2.0.2…

thanks a lot !!!

i think u’r workaround is far better because of easyness and also it
did : “Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org”
