I downloaded and installed IronRuby V 1 awesome work guys!!

I went to command line and typed:

igem install rspec

and got the following message:

C:\Users\azamsharp\>igem install rspec  
WARNING: Installing to ~/.gem since C:/Program Files/IronRuby  
1.0v4/lib/ironrub  
y/gems/1.8 and

Thank you for installing rspec-1.3.0

Please be sure to read History.rdoc and Upgrade.rdoc  
for useful information about this release.

It says that:

So, I went to the environment variable and set the above path in my PATH  
variable. But I still get the above error.

I haven’t tried that, but I was able to get gem -S install rspec to  
work.  
It’s been awhile, but if you check through the mailing list history, you  
should find instructions on getting it set up correctly. Try the gem -S  
thing first.

I strongly recommend uninstalling and re-installing IronRuby to  
C:\ironruby.  
It will make your life much easier.
