Im trying to update my gems with

sudo gem update --system

and im getting this error.

Updating RubyGems  
WARNING: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:

RubyGems will revert to legacy indexes degrading performance.

You have an obsolete gem source ([merbivore.com](http://merbivore.com)). You can remove it  
with “gem sources -r” or by hand-editing ~/.gemrc.
