I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on a virtual machine.
Ruby 1.9.1 p378 is installed
I need to have rubygems 1.3.7 installed to reproduce a production environment using rails.
I have tried downloading rubygems 1.3.7 both through update and the manual download/extract/buIld method.
When I update the system - I end up with error messages:

:~/rubygems-1.3.7$ gem list
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb:71:in `rescue in rescue in <class:ConfigFile>': uninitialized constant Gem::ConfigFile::RbConfig (NameError)
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb:53:in `rescue in <class:ConfigFile>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb:49:in `<class:ConfigFile>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb:28:in `<top (required)>'

    from /usr/local/bin/gem:9:in `require'
    from /usr/local/bin/gem:9:in `<main>'

When I look in which gem: it displays:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/gem_runner'
require 'rubygems/exceptions'

required_version = Gem::Requirement.new ">= 1.8.7"

unless required_version.satisfied_by? Gem.ruby_version then
  abort "Expected Ruby Version #{required_version}, is #{Gem.ruby_version}"
end

args = ARGV.clone

begin
  Gem::GemRunner.new.run args
rescue Gem::SystemExitException => e
  exit e.exit_code
end

There is a folder called 1.8 - under this folder is 1.3.6

Can anyone help with installing 1.3.7 properly and getting it running?

   What is the result of ruby -v -rrbconfig -e 'p RbConfig' and gem env?
