Hello,
I am on Ubuntu 9.10
I ran the following commands for a rubygems update from 1.3.5 to 1.3.6
$ sudo gem install update_rubygems
$ cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
$ sudo ./update_rubygems
$ gem -v
1.3.6
but after this some of the installed gems fail to work . For eg.
$ rails -v
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:777:in
report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem rails (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:211:inactivate’
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:1056:in `gem’
from /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rails:18
What is wrong here?

Had you run gem update --system it would have said something like
“don’t do that” because you (probably) have debian/ubuntu RubyGems
installed.

ubuntu/debian RubyGems and standard RubyGems disagree with each other.
Now that you’ve installed standard RubyGems you’ll need to set the
GEM_HOME environment variable to /var/lib/gems/1.8, I think
