Here’s my environment followed by what I’m seeing. I dug into the code and found out that the “bad URI” it’s complaining about is nil, which is indeed pretty bad for a URI. I’ve searched for an answer in vain. I’ve reinstalled rubygems by running setup.rb from the latest rubygems release. Does anyone have any ideas?

I don’t know if this will help, but for comparison here is my setup: $ gem environment RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.1 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.11.1] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/bin/ruby - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-darwin-8 - GEM PATHS: - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - /Users/me/.gem/ruby/1.8 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update\_sources =\> true - :verbose =\> true - :benchmark =\> false - :backtrace =\> false - :bulk\_threshold =\> 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/) I updated ruby to version 1.8.6, so I am not using the pre-installed ruby. Also, at some point when I forgot to use sudo to install a gem, rubygems created the local directory: /Users/me/.gem/ruby/1.8 and installed the gem there. Now when I forget to use sudo to install a gem, I do: $ rm -rf /Users/me/.gem to delete the whole directory, and then install the gem again using sudo. Unfortunately, rubygems still reports the non-existent directory under GEM PATHS, but that doesn’t have any effect on anything. ---

You might get a slightly more recent ruby by updating Leopard, but that shouldn’t matter very much. Saying “sudo gem update –system” _should_ have been sufficient to update rubygems. > [dougmcbride@shiny /d/rubygems-1.3.4] sudo gem --debug install ruby- > debug > … > Exception `EOFError’ at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/ > Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133 - end of file > reached Just checking - (1) Have you installed Xcode?

If the ruby executable is located here: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby then it seems to be that the executable directory should be listed as: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ ---

What the OP has is correct for OS X 10.5 Leopard, which is evidently what the OP has. 7stud has something earlier (presumably Tiger) and what he has is correct for that system. Comparing apples with oranges is pointless here. m.
