Ok, first it seems the application was not started by you, but you
just checkout it, right? so we need to fix the rubygems stuff.

1) Download rubygems-1.2.0.zip file from RubyForge:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126&release_id=23118

2) Extract the package and from the command prompt, inside the folder
run:

ruby setup.rb install

That should overwrite the installed rubygems with this one.

3) Go to into your Ruby/bin folder (usually C:\Ruby\bin or C:\Program
Files\Ruby\bin) and look for all the scripts named "gem", if you had
1.8.5, you should have:

gem
gem.bat
gem.cmd

Please remove the gem.cmd file to avoid conflicts.

4) RubyGems should be working now.
