Hi everyone,
I’m at my wits end here. I’ve been trying to install a gem all day, but
Rubygems won’t let me because it keeps crashing while trying to update
gem metadata for some Datamapper gems.
I had originally added the gems.datamapper.org repo to my sources, but
now I can’t remove it, because…doh…Rubygems always wants to update
metadata BEFORE running any command.
I’m on Mac OSX Leopard using the normal Ruby 1.8.6 that came with the
box.
Below is a transcript of my trials and tribulations:
ca1-osx-l214:Library kodama$ gem install trollop
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)

ca1-osx-l214:Library kodama$ echo Oh noes
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thank you very much,
kodama
