I am getting the following error:

I started with:

$ cd ~
~ $ git clone http://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/ && cd rubygems
......
rubygems $ git  checkout 1.8
rubygems $ sudo ruby -Ilib bin/gem cleanup tilt --debug -V
Exception `NameError' at /Users/joopverbaken/rubygems/lib/rubygems/command_manager.rb:177 - uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::CleanupCommand
Cleaning up installed gems...
Clean Up Complete

rubygems $ gem list tilt

 *\*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\*

tilt (1.3.3)
rubygems $ gem uninstall tilt
INFO:  gem "tilt" is not installed

rubygems $ gem list | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs sudo gem uninstall -aIx
INFO:  gem "actionmailer" is not installed
INFO:  gem "actionpack" is not installed
INFO:  gem "activemodel" is not installed
......
INFO:  gem "tilt" is not installed
INFO:  gem "treetop" is not installed
INFO:  gem "tzinfo" is not installed

so even with a fresh cloned rubygems and using sudo I can not get my LOCAL GEMS
Any suggestion?

   Are you on debian? Can you try a ruby/RG installed with RVM?

   Hello,

   Thanks for your response, great to have support staff out there!

   I 'resolved' my problem, by going back to a clean setup.
   First I imploded the gems and afterwards I still had to remove the remainder of the .rvm directory.
   I am working fine now with newly installed rvm etc.

   Thanks a lot and you can close this request.

   The two steps I did were:
   $ rvm implode

   $ sudo rm -rf ~/.rvm
