Hello, extreme newbie to the list... sorry for the general posting.
I installed ruby and rails with no problem a few days ago (on WinXP
machine). I tried to run gem update and I got some error.. decided to
reinstall it to see if that would make a difference. It didn''t..
here''s the error.. can anyone help? This happens when I run gem install
rails

Hey Am a newbie too,had the same problem.But its resolved now. Install rubygems and u wud fund a file called setup.rb. You gotta run this command on the command line ruby setup.rb,which would install the required files. I hope this helps.
