Trouble with gems on Ubuntu

Rails
1

I’m trying to install rails in my laptop, ubuntu partition, but gems
won’t work. This is what it says:

$ sudo gem update --system
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)

Obviously, the error exists here:

#! /usr/bin/ruby1.8
#–

require ‘rubygems’
Gem.manage_gems

required_version = Gem::Version::Requirement.new(">= 1.8.0")
unless required_version.satisfied_by?(Gem::Version.new(RUBY_VERSION))
puts “Expected Ruby Version #{required_version}, was
#{RUBY_VERSION}”
exit(1)
end

We need to preserve the original ARGV to use for passing gem options

to source gems. If there is a – in the line, strip all options

after

it…its for the source building process.

args = !ARGV.include?("–") ? ARGV.clone : ARGV[0…ARGV.index("–")]

Gem::GemRunner.new.run(args) #ERROR HERE!!!

What can I do to fix this?

did you use apt-get ?

No. I used the directions here (note, I used rubygems-1.1.1.tgz
instead):

Stick with Ubuntu rubygems and spare yourself the headaches. It works
fine even at 0.9.4.

In usr/bin/gem add

require ‘rubygems/gem_runner’

right after the

require ‘rubygems’

statement.
