I am stuck in a vicious cycle in which I need a newer version of Gems in
order to upgrade my current version of Gems. Is there a way out of this
aside from a clean install of gems?
I would like to install the newgem package, but I can't because my
version of Gems is too old:
$ sudo gem install newgem
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: Error installing newgem:
hoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.1
I have Ruby Gems version 1.1.1 installed. Following the instructions in
Chapter 3 of the Gems manual (http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/3), I try
this to upgrade my copy of Gems:
$ sudo gem update --system
Updating RubyGems
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
Nothing to update
Then, still following the instructions, I do:
$ sudo gem install rubygems-update
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: Error installing rubygems-update:
hoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.1
This is the same error message I saw at the beginning so I'm stuck.
Here is my Gems setup:
$ gem environment
RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.1.1
- RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i686-darwin]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /sw/bin/ruby1.8
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
- ruby
- x86-darwin
- GEM PATHS:
- /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8
- GEM CONFIGURATION:
- :update_sources => true
- :verbose => true
- :benchmark => false
- :backtrace => false
- :bulk_threshold => 1000
- REMOTE SOURCES:

I am running OS X. I installed Gems via the fink package manager for OS
X.
An attempt to install rubygems-update with debug tracing turned on is in
the attached file.
Thanks.
