Subject: gem uninstall problem

Hi

Gems is giving me fits with uninstalling activerecord,
however, it uninstalls rails just fine.

Here is what I get for rails:

 gem list rails
 Config file /Users/jdf/.gemrc does not exist
 
 *** LOCAL GEMS ***
 
 rails (0.9.5, 0.9.4.1, 0.9.3, 0.9.2, 0.9.1)
     Web-application framework with template engine, control-flow layer,
     and ORM.

 gem uninstall rails -v 0.9.1
 Config file /Users/jdf/.gemrc does not exist
 Attempting to uninstall gem 'rails'
 Successfully uninstalled rails version 0.9.1

Ok, fine, now for activerecord

 gem list activerecord
 Config file /Users/jdf/.gemrc does not exist
 
 *** LOCAL GEMS ***
 
 activerecord (1.8.0, 1.6.0, 1.5.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.0)
     Implements the ActiveRecord pattern for ORM.

 gem uninstall activerecord -v 1.8.0
 Config file /Users/jdf/.gemrc does not exist
