I see someone else is having problems updating to gem version 1.3.1 on Ubuntu 8.04. But my problem is different. I've updated OK and in the gem list --local I see ruby-gems-update 1.3.1 but gem -v still returns 1.2.0. That's what's setup in the environment. So now when I try to do anything that requires gem version 1.3.1 it doesn't work. If I try gem update --system it says there's nothing to do, it's all uptodate. Any idea what could be wrong? If it's just the environment variable, where do I set it so that I get the right one after a reboot? John Small -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
