RubyGem update on Leopard

Posted by jay Fri, 28 Nov 2008 00:15:00 GMT

I have a RubyGem version 1.2.0 installed on Leopard. If you would like to update RubyGems to a newer version, the RubyGem user guide suggests for modern versions( >0.8.5 ) can use the following command:

gem update —system

But, console told me the 1.2.0 is the latest version – Nothing to update! The work around is to use install rubygem-update:
gem install rubygems-update

update_rubygems

Check installed version:
MBP:~ Jay$ gem —version

1.3.1

So now, I’m able to pull the latest rSpec plugin into my Rails project.
