Subject: [ruby-core:64283] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8124] gem fails to install	valid gems

Issue #8124 has been updated by Gary Turner.


I for one have got this error. 
I have no idea what to do to solve it, and/or what the significance of it is. I've just installed ruby on windows 8 to run a project that I work on. I have installed a couple of gems, and now can't. 

C:\Ruby193\bin>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p545 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32]

C:\Ruby193\bin>gem -v
1.8.28

C:\Ruby193\bin>gem install rgeo
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rgeo' (>= 0) in any repository

C:\Ruby193\bin>gem install dbf

I'm not able to reproduce this, but many people have reported it on occasion.

    $ gem install bundler
    ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0) in any repository
    ERROR:  Possible alternatives: bundler

Can anyone confirm this?
