Using gem 1.0.1 install via gems update --system

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem -v
1.0.1

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem which rubygems
(checking gem rubygems-update-1.0.1 for rubygems)
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>

How come it cannot "see" these gems which are available from
rubyforge?
    win32-api-1.0.5-x86-mswin32-60.gem or
    win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60.gem

ps neither does gems -v 0.9.4

I downloaded the gems from rubyforge and did a local install
which worked out correctly -- no problem that I know of.


Am I correct that it is not necessary to install rubygems-update if
I do a gem update --system?

Thank yous to the rubygems team, your work is much appreciated.
