I downloaded rubygems-1.8.15 from RubyForge and tried to install as directed and got the error below.
Running on CentOS release 5.7, I checked the ruby version that I find to be "ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux]", so I downloaded rubygems-1.8.5 and tried again, but got the same error(s).
Can I get some help how to resolve the issue?

Many Thanks.

   Latest version of RubyGems that support 1.8.6 is 1.3.7

   Anything newer requires Ruby 1.8.7 or greater.
