Installing the rubygems-update-1.2.0.gem just installs the upgrading
tool,
you still need to run it with

sudo update_rubygems

THEN you should have 1.2 installed!

$ sudo update_rubygems
Installing RubyGems 1.2.0
setup.rb:108: undefined method `ruby_version’ for Gem:Module
(NoMethodError)

if that were your problem.

anyway, thanks for your reply ))

Hmmmm, I don’t know what to say.

The local install of rubygems-update-1.2.0.gem and then running
update_rubygems is what finally worked for me.

On another thread you seemed to imply that you are still running Tiger
(10.4.11 IIRC) while I’m running Leopard (10.5.3) although I’d be
