I am running:

user@user.com:~$ gem env
RubyGems Environment:
  - VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8
  - GEM PATH:
     - /var/lib/gems/1.8
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org
user@user.com:~$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [x86_64-linux]

Looks like I am running a much older version of rubygems than you are 
Hassan.  Where/how could I get a more recent version?
