I've been trying to upgrade InstantRails2.0 to a more recent version of rails. I've updated gem to version 1.3.5. When I do a simple 'gem update rails', I got the 'Invalid gem format' error for activesupport-2.3.5.gem. After researching it and finding a couple threads here, I tried to delete this gem from the cache. Still didn't work, it just got re-loaded when installing rails. I tried going to version 2.3.3 of rails, since I don't need the latest and greatest, and a thread here suggested a problem in the latest repository.
I tried manually downloading the activesupport-2.3.3.gem and installing from that local downloaded gem. This appeared to work, so I downloaded rails-2.3.3.gem and tried to install this local copy. I continue to get the 'invalid gem format' for a different gem each time. Each time I manually download and 'gem install local' the version that last reported the error, and each time I get the 'invalid gem format' for another gem. What's the root problem? I've just finally got rails 2.3.3 to install, but I need to do this on another machine as well, and am really not looking forward to doing this process again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
