I am on Leopard and when I do sudo gem install rush I get the above  
error message. Suddenly something is messed up with the Ruby Gems. I  
tried to follow Chad F.'s suggestion on mailing list archive  
(2004). I reinstalled the Ruby Gems by following Hivelogic article  
with no luck.

Any ideas on how I can fix it? TIA.

Never mind. I fixed it. I had to do this:

gem sources -r [http://gems.github.com/](http://gems.github.com/)
