Gems 1.3.1 and sources

[Feng Shui]

Hi folks,

I tried to install Rails today so I got Ruby 1.8.7 and gem 1.3.1 as
sources. Ruby get installed without problems and also gems worked fine
with `ruby setub.rb`.
When I now tried to install Rails via `gem install rails` gem complained
about the missing gem sources. I hoped `gem install sources` will do the
trick, but now gem still insists on "0.0.1 not > 0.0.1" (see attachment)
We'll, he's right ...
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Fengi

If you run with --debug every exception encountered is printed even if
it's rescued. This particular exception is rescued.

This seems to be more then an isolated problem. We have at least two
reports of it at the german ruby boards.

The interesting part seems to be "marshal data to short".

I suspect that you may have network issues. You can see which URLs
RubyGems is trying to fetch with --verbose:

$ gem list --verbose -r rails

[worked for me]

This may help you figure out the problem. I see:

$ curl -I http://gems.rubyforge.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz
