I have been trying to get gem to update on my Mac OSX and kept getting the 302 error that the source wasn't valid.

I found instructions to download and upgrade manually and it basically involved downloading the zip, cd to the directory and run ruby setup.rb

But I get this error:

ruby setup.rb
./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:54: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:57:in require': undefined methodend_with?' for no such file to load -- Win32API (NoMethodError)

from ./lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:55
from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from ./lib/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:8
from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from setup.rb:25

This is for a class and I've been banging away at it for a week now... any help would be appreciated as the class technically ends tonight and I haven't gotten confirmation that I've been granted an extension. Thanks in advance!

   Please check that RubyGems source is http://rubygems.org and not
   http://gems.rubyforge.org

   gems.rubyforge.org is generating a 302 redirect and old versions of
   RubyGems can't handle it.

   Also, seems you have Ruby 1.8.6, that is no longer supported by newer
   version of RubyGems, you need Ruby 1.8.7 at minimum.

   Well according to www.rubyonrails.org all I'm supposed to do is do a:

   gem update rails

   beacuse its included with MacOSX developer tools..

   But then I get the 302 problem again. I've tried doing the gem add thingy but it gives me another 302 error. How can I update Mac's rails?

   My version is 1.8.6 as you thought... and the source shows as you have indicated...

   however when I do the add... I get this error:

   gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
   

   HTTP Response 302 fetching http://rubygems.org/yaml
   

   and if I try the remove first I get:

   gem sources --remove http://gems.rubyforge.org
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
   

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

   Your rubygems version is too old, you will need to follow the manual upgrade process. 1.3.7 is the latest version of RubyGems which supports ruby 1.8.6.

   I am aware it is too old, it's the upgrade process that is causing me problems.

   per your link I have:

   1:

   sudo gem install rubygems-update
   Password:
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
   

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

   and

   2: manual install from the link... but the version at the link is 1.6.2... so I dont understand why people keep giving me that link as the versions you guys are mentioning are all different. But following your link and instructions anyway I get:

   ruby setup.rb
   ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:54: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:57:in require': undefined methodend_with?' for no such file to load -- Win32API (NoMethodError)

   from ./lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:55
   from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
   from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
   from ./lib/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:8
   from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
   from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
   from setup.rb:25
   

   Still no success. I'm really confused and am beginning to think this isn't going to work before my class extension ends now, lol. I know other people can use it, so what could I be doing wrong?

   Download RubyGems 1.3.7:

   http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126

   You will need to scroll down until you see the file. or:

   wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
   tar xf rubygems-1.3.7.gz
   cd rubygems-1.3.7
   sudo ruby setup.rb

   Excellent! I had the exact same problem with MacOSX Tiger. Now gem works. Thanks Luis!
