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 ---

Try adding [http://gemcutter.org](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](http://www.rubygems.org) .

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 Samu
