Hi I was trying to write a scrip useing the watir gem and shoes gui. I  
know how to install the gem to shoes but i get the error

hoe requires RubyGems version \>= 1.3.1

This happens as shoes trys to install the gem.

I have the most recent ruby gems so cant update, cant find a solution  
online anywhere Has any one else had the same issue???
