Okay I had some troubles today and wanted to do a total reinstallation
of rubygems and all gems I had. So I removed rubygems with:
sudo apt-get remove --purge rubygems
and then I did the big mistake and deleted the whole gems folder:
sudo rm -rd /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems
Now I have a big problem. I reinstalled rubygems but when I wanna
install any gem I’m getting an error like this:
$: sudo gems install hpricot
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
gem_original_require’: no such file to load — sources (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:inrequire’
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/remote_installer.rb:462:in
`sources’
[…]
I now found out the problem is I need a sources gem? I found out that I
still have this gem in the gems/cache folder:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/cache/sources-0.0.1.gem
But how to install? If I do
sudo gem install -local /var/lib/gems/1.8/cache/sources-0.0.1.gem
I also get the same error like above:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require’: no such file to load — sources (LoadError)
I have no idea how to fix this now? Can someone help me with this?
greets
