Unable to update gems

Ruby
1

I am trying to update the rails using gems update, and I am getting the
following error:

Updating installed gems
GET 304 Not Modified: RubyGems.org | your community gem host
Updating actionmailer
GET 304 Not Modified: RubyGems.org | your community gem host
Installing gem activesupport-2.2.2
ERROR: While executing gem … (RangeError)
integer 2953686243 too big to convert to `int’

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.

gem env would be good, too.

gem update -V --backtrace please, this error is very strange, it seems
you have a nearly 3GB tar file for actionmailer…

I think this is very possibly a problem with jruby… Can you test
with MRI?

Obviously, updating actionmailer isn’t a problem in normal cases, so
some edge case is messing stuff up. Either remove netbeans or remove
jruby from the equation and try again.

Obviously, updating actionmailer isn’t a problem in normal cases, so
some edge case is messing stuff up. Either remove netbeans or remove
jruby from the equation and try again.

I ran with -V, there is no additional output on console. I want to use
JRuby because I am looking for Quartz and other java library
integration.

Will try MRI nevertheless.
