Gems install failing

Bob Cober

We are trying to install ruby and rubygems on a RedHat AS 3 server. It
is behind a firewall and uses a proxy.

The rubygems Setup.rb is failing.

Thanks in advance for any help.


here is the output.(curl works fine with the proxy setting)

you are using an ancient ruby. probably ruby 1.6.8 (several years old).

redhat bites in this respect.

you'll want to install 1.8.5 iff possible.
