I had the same problem yesterday, when I upgraded all my gems. It turns out, this error occurs if you have one broken gem. My solution: Add a puts statement inside gem_path_searcher.rb to find out what gem is broken. Then uninstall it. (For me it was the latest mojombo-grit). A better solution would be to patch Rubygems so it doesn't choke just because you have a broken gem - or at least tell you which one it is. > irb(main):002:0> require 'systemu' > NoMethodError: undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:96:in > `lib_dirs_for' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:26:in > `initialize' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in `each' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in > `initialize' > from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:684:in `new' > from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:684:in `searcher' > from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:683:in > `synchronize' > from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:683:in `searcher' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:34:in `require' > from (irb):2 > irb(main):003:0> require 'rails' > NoMethodError: undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:96:in > `lib_dirs_for' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:26:in > `initialize' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in `each' > from > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in > `initialize' > > > Heres my gem env > > $ gem env > RubyGems Environment: > - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.1 > - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] > - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 > - RUBY EXECUTABLE: c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe > - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: c:/ruby/bin > - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: > - ruby > - x86-mswin32-60 > - GEM PATHS: > - c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 > - c:/Documents and Settings/dominic e sisneros/My > Documents/.gem/ruby/1.8 > - GEM CONFIGURATION: > - :update_sources => true > - :verbose => true > - :benchmark => false > - :backtrace => false > - :bulk_threshold => 1000 > - :sources => ["http://gems.rubyforge.org";, " > http://gems.rubyonrails.org";, "http://gems.github.com/";] > - REMOTE SOURCES: > - http://gems.rubyforge.org > - http://gems.rubyonrails.org > - http://gems.github.com/ > > > _______________________________________________ > Rubygems-developers mailing list > Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers > -- Aslak (::)
