The problem may have arisen from the fact that Xandros relies heavily on Debian, and your second link explains that Debian does not cooperate with the built-in gem update process. I tried to use apt-get to reinstall ruby and gem. I could only get up to 0.9.0. The instructions at the second link seem to be more promising, but I encountered an odd error when I tried to run 'gem', 'gem -v', etc. "gem1.8" works fine for "gem" and "gem1.8 -v" returns 1.3.1. Possibly the best solution is to either copy or make a symbolic link from gem1.8 to gem in /usr/bin. I tried "sudo gem1.8 install rubygems-update" then "sudo update-rubygems" which was very similar to the advice at the second link. After that, I still only have "gem1.8," not "gem," but I tried going back to instiki and running it again. At this point it runs, and I was able to create a wiki. The next question is whether I have gem messed up, and whether it should be fixed, or whether I should ignore it and carry on with using instiki. Thanks.
