gem update --system in my windows XP box.

Need to update 18 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org

Attempting remote update of rubygems-update
ERROR: While executing gem … (ArgumentError)
install directory

You are not alone:

Did anybody find a clearer solution. Am I going to reinstall rubygems as
well??

I imagine that Jim is looking into it. You could post to the gem
developers list in case he missed it.

Hi Bill
I think I solved the problem. I removed my old ruby completely (1.8.4)
and installed a new one version 1.8.6. then do
gem update
to install (fxruby, hpricot, rake, win32-clipboard, win32-file,
win32-file-stat, win32-process, windows-pr)
THEN I did gem update --system and it worked fine.
Maybe the old ruby version is not working with the new gem version? and
also I am not sure why I needed to do a general update in gem first to
get “gem update --system” working. otherwise it would through out some
error like
"/./post-install.rb failed:
undefined method `file_name’ for #Gem::Specification:0x2e47648
Try ‘ruby setup.rb --help’ for detailed usage. "
It might need more explaination
Cheers
