Subject: Re: Need help installing ruby and libraries

Hello...

I installed Ruby again and then I run the commands, getting these results:

C:\Documents and Settings\jstuardo>gem update rubygems
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update

C:\Documents and Settings\jstuardo>gem install rails
ERROR:  http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR:  could not find gem rails locally or in a repository

It's curious that the first command gave the error "Nothing to update", since Rubygems version installed was 1.3.5 and there is already the version 1.3.6.

These are the new environment:

RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.5
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.1 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 378) [i386-mingw32]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: C:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe
  - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby19/bin
  - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    - ruby
    - x86-mingw32
  - GEM PATHS:
     - C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
     - C:/Documents and Settings/jstuardo/.gem/ruby/1.9.1
  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :benchmark => false
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org/

Thanks
Jaime

You can try this:
gem update rubygems
gem install rails

But, I think you should delete  / uninstall everything and start over.
http://rubyinstaller.org/download.html
I am almost certain that the Ruby Installer comes with RubyGems 
preinstalled, so by reinstalling it you may have broken things.

You should not need to download any gems manually.
Installing Ruby, rebooting if necessary, then typing things in the 
command line should be enough:

gem update rubygems
gem install rails

.. It -should- download and install rails for you.
