Rails - Jun 2006 - Installing products through gem on ubuntu

I''m trying to install mongrel and sqlite3 through the gem command on
ubuntu.  I''m have in the same problem with both.  If I try to do sudo
gem
install sqlite3, it says GemNotFoundException.  If I run the same command
without sudo, I don''t have permission to some directory:

pbarry@pbarry-laptop:~/downloads/rubygems-0.9.0$ sudo gem install
sqlite3-ruby
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find sqlite3-ruby (> 0) in the repository
pbarry@pbarry-laptop:~/downloads/rubygems-0.9.0$ gem install sqlite3-ruby
Select which gem to install for your platform (i486-linux)
 1. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (mswin32)
 2. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (ruby)
...
 11. Cancel installation
> 2
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
    Permission denied - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/sqlite3-ruby-1.1.0.g

Same thing with mongrel:

pbarry@pbarry-laptop:~/downloads/rubygems-0.9.0$ sudo gem install mongrel
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find mongrel (> 0) in the repository
pbarry@pbarry-laptop:~/downloads/rubygems-0.9.0$ gem install mongrel
Select which gem to install for your platform (i486-linux)
 1. mongrel 0.3.13.2 (ruby)
 2. mongrel 0.3.13.2 (mswin32)
...
 40. Cancel installation
> 1
Install required dependency gem_plugin? [Yn]  Y
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
    Permission denied - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/gem_plugin-0.2.1.gem

What can I do to fix this?

Weird, do you have some kind of .gemrc or something that''s got the
wrong
permissions?  Maybe your environment has something in it that causes
problems.  Check your env command (in your shell).

Otherwise, looks like a gem problem.  Try hitting the pre-release site
with:

  gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases

deleting your source_cache will fix this:

rm /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache
