There was a gem on rubyforge that somehow corrupted the gem index on 
that site.  A lot of people seemed to have downloaded the corrupted 
index and it has been causing problems.  The easiest way to deal with it 
is to just delete your gem cache file.

Use the gem env command to find the default gem repository directory and 
remove the source_cache file there.

   $ gem env gemdir
   PATH_TO_DEFAULT_GEM_REPOSITORY
   $ rm PATH_TO_DEFAULT_GEM_REPOSITORY/souce_cache
   $ rm $HOME/.gem/source_cache

The .gem cache will only exist if the default repository is not writable 
from your user account.  Delete both if they exist.
