Are you behind a proxy or corporate firewall?

If so, please add --http-proxy with the proper proxy URL to the gem
install or gem update commands.

PS: when reporting issues related to RubyGems, please execute the
command with --debug -V option: gem install xx --debug -V

You’re using an old version of RubyGems, which probably has an old
source list. Is gems.rubyforge.org even still up?

Try adding http://gemcutter.org as a source and see what happens when
you try to update. If that doesn’t work, reinstall from
http://www.rubygems.org .

Best,

Eh both gems.rubyforge.org and gemcutter.org resolve to the same IP
now. But yeah, it seems like your firewall is blocking you. Do what
Luis L. suggested and let us know what happened.

We have done with Sprout core installation. Snow leopard version of mac
comes alone with updated Gems. After updating gems,
‘sudo gem install sproutcore --local’ helped to install sproutcore from
Gems_Repository(Will get this folder after untar sproutcore.tar) folder.

Thanks
