Summary: Gem.binary_mode version test for Ruby 1.9 sets invalid rb:ascii-8bit
mode
Initial Comment:
In rubygems.rb, line 344, self.binary_mode makes a check for RUBY_VERSION and
sets @binary_mode accordingly. However, it assumes wrongly that the mode
"rb:ascii-8bit" is available for all RUBY_VERSION > '1.9'. In fact, that mode
does NOT work in Ruby 1.9.0, and was added in 1.9.1. (See support below from
Ruby core SVN.)
This manifests as a cryptic error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)
illegal access mode rb:ascii-8bit
(full debugging error output below).
Suggested fix: alter self.binary_mode to check for RUBY_VERSION > '1.9.0' thus:
binary_mode ||= RUBY_VERSION > '1.9.0' ? 'rb:ascii-8bit' : 'rb'
---
Support from Ruby core SVN for the mode name-change that breaks between 1.9.0
and 1.9.1:

Message:
As far as I know 1.9.0 was never supposed to be a stable release used in
production.
There are no 1.9.0 releases in ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby and no patchlevels
were released for it in /pub/ruby/1.9.0 (only snapshots).
Is there some reason you can't use 1.9.1?
