Okay, so I've got Ruby on my Mac OS X 1.5. The Ruby version is 1.8.6, but the RubyGems version, when I check it in Terminal, shows that it's version 1.0.1.

I tried updating it, but it gives me this error:

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

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

In another post, someone mentioned that what I needed to do was to update the source, because this version of gems is trying to update from a defunct site. I tried this, using add source and remove source, but it gives me the above error each time.

I'm thinking my solution would be in a manual re-install of RubyGems. However, I'm not exactly sure how to do that (I'm new to Ruby), and all the other forum topics I've looked are way too technical.

Is there a very basic, step-by-step tutorial on how to do this?

Thanks guys.

Josh

   You probably need the more manual approach listed here at the bottom:

   Or hook up RVM and it'll work great as well.
