Subject: Re: How to get RedCloth on Ubuntu Hardy?

You can update RubyGems by installing the rubygems_update gem and  
running it by hand.

$ sudo gem install rubygems_update
$ sudo update_rubygems

Be aware that you sidestep the package system by doing this, so it  
might lead to strange behaviour if a rubygems update is pushed on apt.  
But thats a thing a Linux-User should answer you ;).
