[/home/shanks/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/specifications/compass-rails-1.0.3.gemspec] isn't a Gem::Specification (NilClass instead). ERROR: While executing gem ...

Answer 1

Try to remove these files, using

rm /home/shanks/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/specifications/compass-rails-1.0.3.gemspec
rm /home/shanks/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/specifications/compass-rails-1.0.3.gemspec

And then try using your command. This worked when I had such issue.
