Help me to solve this problem..

Answer 1

Solution:

1. I need ruby 1.8.7 ( i can't upgrade, its project dependent)
2. problem at gem set , i changed gem -v 2.0 to 1.8.25 that's all

Thank you for your support

Update:

update/downgrade gemset

gem update --system 1.8.25

Answer 2

rvm rubygems 1.8.7 --force 

为我工作。

Answer 3

I had a similar problem with Ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.0.2, so I took your advice and downgraded rubygems. Here's the command to tell Ruby Version Manager to do that:

rvm install --force rubygems 1.3.7

I guess it doesn't like to downgrade, so you need to use the --force option.

Answer 4

You may be using a very old RubyGems version. I encourage you to upgrade RubyGems .

You should also stop using Ruby 1.8.7. It's no longer maintained. Upgrade to Ruby 1.9.3 or greater.
