Problems installing rspec 2.6

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I’ve tried to install rspec on Mac OS X.

I’m on Ruby 1.9.2p180.

After

gem install rspec

and then

rspec --help

I get the following messages:

lily:BDD berndblume-o$ rspec --help

Please help! :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance,

Works for me see installing rspec with rvm · GitHub . If you follow that do
you
get the same error? If so can you gist the following

rvm --version
ruby --version
gem list --local

Perhaps you need to update rvm, or revert it back?

This is a rubygems issue that only happens with certain versions of
Rubygems. I’ve released 2.6.3, which is built with a version of rubygems
that does not introduce this problem, regardless of the version of
rubygems you are using to install the gem.
