(SocketError) getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname. when I try to ping http://gems.rubyforge.org I get these output: Pinging http://gems.rubyforge.org [205.234.109.18] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 205.234.109.18: bytes=32 time=114ms TTL=40 Reply from 205.234.109.18: bytes=32 time=51ms TTL=40 Reply from 205.234.109.18: bytes=32 time=51ms TTL=40 Reply from 205.234.109.18: bytes=32 time=56ms TTL=40 Ping statistics for 205.234.109.18: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 51ms, Maximum = 114ms, Average = 68ms How do I fix the socketError? then I download download the zip file from http://rubyzip.sourceforge.net/ unzip it,go to the folder containing install.rb,and install it as follows: ruby install.rb By trying the test script I think rubyzip is installed successfully. But the problem is that I cannot see it in the local gems by typing this line: c:\gem list --local Is there any problem with my installation?
