Summary: RubyGems 1.3 fails on windows (undefined method `uid' for nil:NilClass)
Initial Comment:
Gem 1.3 does not work out of the box on windows.
Here is what happens:
C:\>gem update
Updating installed gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `uid' for nil:NilClass
The problem is in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rubygems.rb, line 713:
"if 0 == File.expand_path(path).index(Gem.user_home) and Etc.getpwuid.uid !=
File::Stat.new(Gem.user_home).uid then"
Which should be replaced with:
"if 0 == File.expand_path(path).index(Gem.user_home) and !Gem.win_platform? and
Etc.getpwuid.uid != File::Stat.new(Gem.user_home).uid then"
Then everything works as expected.

Thank you for reporting this.
This is actually fixed in RubyGems 1.3.1 and should be available to you in the
form of zip package.
