RubyGems Problem

Rails
1

Hello,

I am having problems updating anything with RubyGems. For example I get
the following errors when trying to do anything using a remote server:

studiog5:~ Matt$ gem update —system
Updating installed gems…
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 403

studiog5:~ Matt$ gem update rails
Updating installed gems…
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 403

Always the same 403 error. Any ideas?

And for the record:

studiog5:~ Matt$ gem --version
0.9.4

Thanks!

  1. May be “gem environment” will output something special in “REMOTE
    SOURCES”

  2. I had a problem with gem repo. It was its fault. I just hat to wait
    til it was fixed.

  3. May be try

That’s an antediluvian version of gem. The current version is something
like 1.3.5.

Thanks!

So how should I go about updating RubyGems if it is too old to update
itself???

Install a new version from your package manager, or from
http://www.rubygems.org.
