Windows 7, Ruby 2.0
gem install ice_cube gets:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'ice_cube' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect retur
ned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (
https://s3.amazonaws.com/production.s3.rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

Any ideas how to get around this or fix it?

   I have the same problem. I am on Windows 8.1 with Ruby 2.0.0-23. I get:
   >gem install bundler
   ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
