Subject: Re: My rubygems is completely broken (EOFErrors)

I don't know if this will help, but for comparison here is my setup:

$ gem environment
RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.1
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.11.1]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/bin/ruby
  - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin
  - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    - ruby
    - x86-darwin-8
  - GEM PATHS:
     - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
     - /Users/me/.gem/ruby/1.8
  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :benchmark => false
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org/

I updated ruby to version 1.8.6, so I am not using the pre-installed 
ruby.  Also, at some point when I forgot to use sudo to install a gem, 
rubygems created the local directory:

/Users/me/.gem/ruby/1.8

and installed the gem there.  Now when I forget to use sudo to install a 
gem, I do:

$ rm -rf /Users/me/.gem

to delete the whole directory, and then install the gem again using 
sudo.  Unfortunately, rubygems still reports the non-existent directory 
under GEM PATHS, but that doesn't have any effect on anything.
