When you install the rubygems-update gem, make sure you install the 
version that matches your current version of rubygems. The following 
will do it:

gem install rubygems-update -v `gem --version`

Note that the quotes are backquotes (i.e. shift plus the tilde (~) key 
on a standard US keyboard).
