Hi,

I had the same problem.Download the latest version of rubygems which
is rubygems-0.8.8.You would find a file called setup.rb.

Perform ruby setup.rb at the command prompt,which would install a few
things by itself.

sometimes it requires cleaning up your old setup.So u might need to
install ruby again.And then go about installing rubygemsand the steps
mentioned above.

Do lemme know if this works.Thanks
