Two issues. RubyGems version has nothing to do with the version of Ruby. Via inheriting the package from Debian, Ubuntu's RubyGems is broken by design because you cannot use the gem update --system to upgrade the RubyGems version when it is installed from package (and for other reasons irrelevant to this discussion). Generally, I install RubyGems from source on Ubuntu systems. However, since some Rubyists have said 1.9.1 has its own problems, 1.9.2 is recommended. The suggestion of rvm is probably the best bet, and you would definitely want to use RubyGems from source there. -- Joshua Timberman http://twitter.com/jtimberman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
