Subject: Gems Issue

Hello:

I'm trying to install a gem package, but its not working. Here's what
I see:

C:\>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install --remote ruby-
activeldap
Attempting remote installation of 'ruby-activeldap'
Install required dependency log4r? [Yn]  Y
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
    404 Not Found

>From what I've read, some say this means the gems repository is
temporarily off-line or there are some network issues. I don't think
this is the case though. I've tried on a number of occasions over the
last week with no success and I can access the repository listing just
fine.

I've also seen some suggestion that I may need to upgrade my version
of ruby and/or gem. I'm a little reticent to do this, but I will if
someone can tell me with some certainty this is the issue. Here are
the versions I'm currently running:

C:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

C:\>gem -v
C:\>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" -v
0.8.10

All suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your time.
