Group,

I think I'm stumbling over an environment setting, but I can't see
where it is.  I'm trying to upgrade some Ubuntu 10 boxes that have
rubygems installed via apt-get, and they are stuck on version 1.2.
The gem list --remote comand doesn't work (cant remember the error
now) but it's complaining about not being able to get to rubyforge,so
I think the rubygems install is just too old.

Naturally, I don't have root access on these boxes, so I'd like to try
and install rubygems in the user directory.  It's for a class
(starting Monday) so it doesn't need to be a permanent solution.

I've downloaded, installed via ruby setup.rb --prefix ~/rubygems137,
but when I run ~/rubygems137/bin/gem --version, I get the old version.

I've tried resetting the gem_home and gem_path environment variables,
but it keeps running the old version.

What else?
Joe
