Hi,

I just wanted to update my Rails installation with “sudo gem update  
rails” but I get this error:

Updating installed gems…  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)  
Attempting remote update of rails  
Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] y  
Install required dependency activerecord? [Yn] y  
ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenURI::HTTPError)  
404 Not Found

What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance

Specs:  
MacBook 2 GHz C2D  
Mac OS X 10.5.1  
Ruby 1.8.6  
Rails 1.2.3

Could you try it again please? That happens occasionally (I don’t know  
why) but a retry or two succeeds.

It worked with “sudo gem install rails -y” but thanks for the quick  
reply.
