Subject: Unable to gem install rdoc.  Can somebody suggest something?


I'm running on Ubuntu, and have gems kindof apparently installed, and yet I
cannot install rdoc:

root@baldwin:~# gem install -r rdoc
Attempting remote installation of 'rdoc'
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find rdoc (> 0) in the repository
root@baldwin:~# apt-get install rdoc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package rdoc
root@baldwin:~# apt-cache search rdoc

I also got a bunch of other diagnostics (I accidentally sent them a minute ago
with poor explanation; sorry) when running an apparently successful gem install
of rake:

root@baldwin:~# gem install -r rake
Attempting remote installation of 'rake'
Successfully installed rake-0.7.1

Sorry if this is some stupid mistake, but I'm somehow unable to use Net/HTTP,
having the diagnostic:

bary@baldwin:~/autotest-bld/tta5/sbin$ ./thurl.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:83:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:83:in `connect'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:82:in `timeout'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:in `timeout'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:82:in `connect'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:64:in `initialize'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:429:in `do_start'

        from ./HURL.rb:26:in `initialize'
        from ./thurl.rb:6

and when I try to gem install that I get:

root@baldwin:~# gem install -r Net::HTTP
Attempting remote installation of 'Net::HTTP'
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find Net::HTTP (> 0) in the repository
root@baldwin:~#

gem -v is 0.8.11

I also tried variations:

root@baldwin:~# gem install -r net/http
Attempting remote installation of 'net/http'
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find net/http (> 0) in the repository
root@baldwin:~#


and

root@baldwin:~# gem install -r net
Attempting remote installation of 'net'
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find net (> 0) in the repository
root@baldwin:~#
