Hi

I'm getting the following error when starting chef-expander. Can you help?

    Hmm, what's the output of gem env? Can you try upgrading RubyGems?

    Ugh...is this still happening with RubyGems 1.8.12?

    Also, if you try installing Ruby separately via RVM, does it happen?

    any other ideas ?

    The only way this could happen is if rubygems was half upgraded. Have you installed your own version of rubygems?

    Do other ruby programs that require gems work?
