I had the exact same problem this morning. I had rubygems 1.0.1, and was just following the hobo installation instructions. So I ended up with 1.3.0 and getting the same error. I'm on Win XP here at work, unfortunately.
I ended up uninstalling gems 1.3: gem uninstall rubygems-update -- version "1.3.0" I still received the error when I tried to install hobo. I uninstalled gems 1.2 the same way, with the same result. I learned that "gem env" showed the environmental variables, and the RUBYGEMS VERSION said 1.3.0, so obviously stuff was sticking around in memory when maybe it shouldn't. I then found this link: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_frm/thread/4610c99f893d5b9d/7e48230b11797c08 So you don't have to look around, here is a paste: 1) Download rubygems-1.2.0.zip file from RubyForge: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126&release_id=23118 2) Extract the package and from the command prompt, inside the folder run: ruby setup.rb install That should overwrite the installed rubygems with this one. 3) Go to into your Ruby/bin folder (usually C:\Ruby\bin or C:\Program Files\Ruby\bin) and look for all the scripts named "gem", if you had 1.8.5, you should have: gem gem.bat gem.cmd Please remove the gem.cmd file to avoid conflicts. 4) RubyGems should be working now.
