Struggling With RubyGems

Ruby

I can’t seen to query or install gems over here. Is anyone else
seeing something like this, or have I screwed up my local install?

$ gem query -r --name-matches highline

*** REMOTE GEMS ***
ERROR: While executing gem … (NoMethodError)

Using gem 0.9, ruby 1.8.5 (windows one-click), no problems here. you
might
have messed up your install.

Try doing:

gem list -r highline

Does the same thing, easier and shorter to type. If that still fails,
you
should reinstall gems or maybe even Ruby.

May be just you. Mine’s working:

This does appear to be related to my upgrade to 0.9.1. Downgrading
has resolved the issue, for now.

Mine is broken since I updated to 0.9.1 today.

I had the same issue. Deleting the ‘source_cache’ file from my gems
directory solved it for me.

Doing that with a 0.9.1 install does restore the ability to query. I
cannot install with it though:

$ gem -v
0.9.1
$ gem query -r --name-matches highline

James, did you clear out the source_cache for root?

Your query worked because you did it as you. Your install did not
work because you tried to do it as root.

Just a thought.

Never mind. There is only one source_cache :confused: Doh!

I’ll just go back to whatever it was I was doing over there … ooh,
look! Butterfly!

Actually, I originally cleared ~/.gem/source_cache. When you
mentioned it, I cleared the one in root’s home folder as well. When
you gave me this final hint though, I found the one in /usr/local/lib/
ruby/gems/ and nuking that one did the trick. I can now query and
install.

Thanks for all the fresh ideas.

Please archive your source cache and send it to me, should you have
this in the future.

I am still having this problem, although I have not zapped my various
source_cache files yet. I will send copies of my source_cache files to
Eric, offline.

FWIW, I was having the same problem, but sudo gem sources appears to
have fixed it.

I had this problem as well and executing

gem sources

as root did not clear it until I had manually removed the old
source_cache.

rm /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache

I have a tar archive available of the orginal source_cache if that would
be of any use.
