Help needed and a huge thanks in advance.

I am trying to install sass but when I do so in the terminal I get this error:

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

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

Any help with what could be causing this is greatly appreciated.

   Hello,

   This has been asked several times before:

   http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/problems/521-gem-install-problems

   http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/problems/668-gem-update-and-ru...

   Also, recommend you upgrade RubyGems:

   Hope that helps.

   Sorry about this but I have tried the solutions in the threads you provided but still no joy. I don't know where I am going wrong. I tried installing an earlier version of ruby gems but sass require 1.8.7.

   Here is my terminal readout:

   SpencersMac:~ Spencer$ sudo gem update --system
   Updating RubyGems
   Updating rubygems-update
   ERROR: Error installing rubygems-update:

   rubygems-update requires Ruby version >= 1.8.7.
   

   ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

   undefined method `version' for nil:NilClass
   

   SpencersMac:~ Spencer$ sudo gem install ruby gems-update
   ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'ruby' (>= 0) in any repository
   ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'gems-update' (>= 0) in any repository
   SpencersMac:~ Spencer$ sudo update_rubygems
   Error: Cannot find RubyGems Update Path!

   RubyGems has already been updated.
   The rubygems-update gem may now be uninstalled.
   E.g. gem uninstall rubygems-update
   SpencersMac:~ Spencer$ cd Downloads

   -bash: cd: rubyems-1.8.24: No such file or directory SpencersMac:Downloads Spencer$ cd rubygems-1.8.24

   Thanks again for the swift reply Luis.

   Seems you're not reading the responses.

   My responses to the first link provide instructions on how to change sources and be able to install gems.

   If you can't change sources you will need to proceed with manual upgrade of RubyGems, which is linked in the 3rd link I provided.

   The second link provided instructions on how to manually edit .gemrc file if you couldn't manually install RubyGems or follow the instructions of the first link.

   Again, please read carefully the responses and don't jump directly to the things you need to run.

   Is way better you understand the problem so in the future, if something similar shows you can process and appropriate answer on your own.

   Sorry again Luis bug I have used the threads.

   When I manually upgrade I get this:

   Updating RubyGems
   Updating rubygems-update
   ERROR: Error installing rubygems-update:

   rubygems-update requires Ruby version >= 1.8.7.
   

   ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

   undefined method `version' for nil:NilClass
   

   My source is already set to rubygems.org. I am unsure about editing the .gemrc file as there are no instructions on how to go about doing this. I am not a developer and simply wish to makes use of SASS, so I am sorry if i am coming across ignorant.

    Please read the error message:

    ERROR: Error installing rubygems-update:

    rubygems-update requires Ruby version >= 1.8.7.
    

    You have an old version of Ruby (less than 1.8.7) . To upgrade your Ruby you will need to check your Operating System upgrade mechanisms.

    I can't help you on that.
