Hi there, I''m having a lot of trouble trying to install any gems in ubuntu. Every time I try I get: Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ and then that hangs forever. More often than not I get a server timeout on my SSH session before anything changes - that timeout is currently set to 2 hours. I don''t understand why gem needs to Bulk update *every* time I try to install anything with it. I also tried: gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org and got: Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyonrails.org/ Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyonrails.org/ and then hanging. I''ve never had this problem before with gem and I can''t work out what might be wrong. Does anyone know what could be causing it to take so long? thanks dorian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''ve seen hangs due to memory issues. The bulk update is very hungry. Once the bulk update runs to completion once, things get much faster.
