This is due to a change in RubyGems’ setup of the API.  
rubygems/builder.rb  
has been merged into rubygems/package.rb, and the API has changed as  
well.  
This comes from Ruby 2.0 / RubyGems 2.0. The best thing I can suggest,  
is  
to try out the new version of the IDE I’m working on, which is currently  
only available from Bitbucket Git repository.  
[http://bitbucket.org/visualruby/ide](http://bitbucket.org/visualruby/ide)

I will be pushing some updates to the IDE to restore the Gem management,  
as  
well as building gems, hopefully soon.

hth,

Mario
