I upgraded to RubyGems 1.0.0.  Running ruby 1.8.6 on OS X.

When I try to run a spec file in my Rails project, I get:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/requirement.rb:144:in
`parse': Illformed requirement [""] (ArgumentError)
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/requirement.rb:

Any ideas?  You need more data?  Is it possible to downgrade to
rubygems 0.9.5?
