Unable to install rubygems

Rails
1

Hi,

I have got ruby and rails installed on my machine. however i am having
trouble installing ruby gems. It get a missing method error. A method
named path is missing in Gem.

Any ideas as to why this might happen?

I have run through many install-uninstall cycles. I was wondering if
there is a way to do a full uninstall and a fresh install of ruby and
rails?

Thanks,
Shashank

For anyone to have any hope of helping, you need to tell us which
Operating System you are using (Ubuntu, XP, etc) and exactly how you
tried to install whatever it is that you are trying to install and
exactly what the error is.

Also tell us which versions of Ruby and Rails you are using.

This is a complete shot-in-the-dark, but are you trying to use RubyGems
1.4.1 with Ruby 1.9.2?

If this is the case check out:

“Just before the end of the year, the RubyGems team bestowed version
1.4.0 and 1.4.1 upon us. With it, though, came a very ominous, “DO NOT
UPGRADE IN RUBY 1.9,” message. So, please heed their advice. Upgrade in
Ruby 1.8, if you like, but unless you detest kittens, do not upgrade in
Ruby 1.9.”
