Category: RubyGems installer (setup.rb) Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 3 Submitted By: Tom Lianza (tlianza) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError) when installing rubygems Initial Comment: I'm trying to install rubygems on a system that has never had it. I downloaded the latest version (1.3.5) and when I ran ruby setup.rb install, I get the error above: ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError) when installing rubygems The README says this is only an update, so I assume that I need to download an older version - but I grabbed 1.3.0 and saw the same thing. So... I'm a little perplexed because it *seems* like rubygems is a requirement to install rubygems based on the errors. But, it could well be that I'm doing something stupid. FWIW I'm in a Cygwin/Windows env. Thanks!

Please unset RUBYOPT from your System preferences. Previous versions of Ruby Installer for Windows (One-Click) used to set it, that is no longer true. Since you're using Cygwin, is not clear how that variable got set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=27244&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
