Ah, I see.  That is the way to update for old versions of ruby-gems:

---
Prior to RubyGems 0.8.5
If you current version of RubyGems is prior to version 0.8.5, then use 
the following commands:

gem install rubygems-update
update_rubygems
---

vs.

----
Modern Versions of RubyGems
If your RubyGems version is 0.8.5 or later, you can upgrade to the 
latest version with:

gem update --system
