Gem cleanup and rails 1.2.6 problem

Rails
1

I’ve updated rails and other gems following:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUpgrade
When I try to run: gem cleanup, I get the following error:

Cleaning up installed gems…
Attempting to uninstall rails-1.2.6
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::InstallError)
Unknown gem rails = 1.2.6

Googling the problem, I found: Problem with "gem cleanup" on OS X 10.5 - Ruby - Ruby-Forum
Running:
gem uninstall --install-dir -/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/
Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 rails

I get:
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::InstallError)
Unknown gem rails >= 0

How can I uninstall rails 1.2.6? also, since gem cleanup gets an
error, I can’t clean up any other gems…

Become root, and then do it this way:

gem uninstall --install-dir
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
rails

You should be OK with sudo. Can you post your exact command line, and
the
output from gem list -d rails

The problem is with your path. You want /System/Library…
but you are doing -/System/Library…

See the difference?

gem list -d rails gives me:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

Then running:

gives me:
