Why wont my gem install when creating a new Ruby on Rails app?

When I run rails new, it’s starts to create the files needed to make the
app and then it brings up an error saying that the Rake gem wasn’t able
to
be pulled from the Rubygem site.

Anybody know what the problem could be?

Here’s what returned in my command line:

An error occurred while installing rake (10.4.2), and Bundler cannot

Make sure that gem install rake -v '10.4.2' succeeds before
bundling.

Googling for

brings up a number of hits. One of those may be useful.

I don’t use Windows so I cannot help personally.
