Today I tried running bundle install (after adding the "autorefresh" gem to my Gemfile), and got the following error:

Could not find gem 'autorefresh (>= 0, runtime)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.

I then tried to install the gem with sudo gem install autorefresh and got the following:

ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository

I have googled around and discovered that this is usually a proxy issue. However, I have been able to access rubygems just fine over the last few months and, as far as I know, I have made no relevant changes to my network settings during that time. Additionally, I can still ping rubygems.org just fine.

I also tried to updating rubygems (using apt-get) but I still get the same problem.

Is there anything else I can do to try and solve this?

In case it helps, I am running my development environment on Ubuntu 10.10 inside a virtual box on a Windows 7 host.

   Sorry I forgot to mention that my rubygems version is 1.3.7

   I've realized that the "up to date" version installed by apt-get was not all up to date. I've now installed the latest version and it works fine.

   I should have know. Sorry for the bother!
