Hello everyone, I am learning Ruby and Rails. I have tutorials that I am following, I usually get these error messages each time I try to run GEM INSTALL UPDATES:

C:\Users\imedia2>gem install updates
JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support.
http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL
WARNING: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:

    http://gems.rubyforge.org/

RubyGems will revert to legacy indexes degrading performance.
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)

Error fetching remote gem cache: SocketError: initialize: name or service not known (http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml)

Due to these Errors, I have not been able to even run Rails using Net Beans. Please I will be very glad if I am attended to. Thank you all in anticipation.

   What version of RubyGems are you on? (gem env) Definitely update if it's not > 1.3.x with gem update --system

   After running the (gem env), I got this result showing the version as 1.3.1

   Hello, again I ran (gem update --system) and got the following error message:

   This is really strange. Are you behind a firewall or NAT? Is it still happening? What if you set your gem sources in your ~/.gemrc to just http://rubygems.org ?

   I am also getting the similar error.
   WARNING: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:

   ERROR : could not find gem builder locally or in a repository.

   Strangely, there is no URL specified after this line either.

   But I am behind a NAT.

   Any extra configurations or parameters required if it is behind a NAT ?

   Thanks in advance

   As far as I know, RubyGems doesn't work behind a NAT and there's no real resolution yet. You could set your gem source to http://production.s3.rubygems.org/ and that might help. Could you paste the output of gem list -rV ?

   I also try to learn Ruby On Rails with tutorial and I think I am facing similar problem,

   I need to update rails version from 2.0.2 to 2.2.2 as recommended in the book,

   so I wrote the following command:

   E:\INSTAN~1\rails_apps>gem install rails --version 2.2.2

   and I got the following error:

   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
   

   HTTP Response 302 fetching http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml

   also when I try to run another command :
   E:\INSTAN~1\rails_apps>gem list -rV

   I got similar error too :
   REMOTE GEMS

   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
   

   HTTP Response 302 fetching http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml

   Any help? Thank you.

   my problem has been solved by the following steps:

   1- I downloaded RubyGems again from this link

   http://rubyonrails.org/download

   2- Then I followed the steps in this link

   http://www.msquaredweb.com/blog/articles/InstallingRailsOnWindowsXP...

   But to install rails 2.2.2 I wrote this command in the console

   gem instal rails --version 2.2.2

   Great, resolving this issue then.

   For future reference, please use http://rubyinstaller.org, it's way easier and more up to date.
