I wanted to install rubygems under Cygwin on a Intel machine running
Windows XP.
When I attempted to install rubygems-1.3.4, the installation didn't seem
to install much, and then (with the aid of the debug option) I received
some error messages after the"gem update --system" command. Then the
process just hanged. See below.
Just to see if an earlier version of rubygems might install for me, I
tried rubygems 1.3.1. This seemed to install with greater success.
However, when I attempted to do the "gem update --system", the processor
hanged in this case, too. See below.
I tried to clean up newly installed files between different installation
attempts (which I attempted repeatedly), but might have missed some here
and there.
Can anyone offer any suggestions how to get rubygems running on my
system? I'd be happy with ANY version in the past 2 years.

= Announce: RubyGems Release 1.3.0
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no
rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of
update
instructions if you see "Nothing to update".
Release 1.3.0 fixes some bugs.
Bugs fixed:
* Disregard ownership of ~ under Windows while creating ~/.gem. Fixes
issues related to no uid support under Windows.
* Fix requires for Gem::inflate, Gem::deflate, etc.
* Make Gem.dir respect :gemhome value from config. (Note: this feature
may be
removed since it is hard to implement on 1.9.)
* Kernel methods are now private. Patch #20801 by Stefan Rusterholz.
* Gem::location_of_caller now behaves on Windows. Patch by Daniel
Berger.
* Silence PATH warning.
Deprecation Notices:
* Gem::manage_gems will be removed on or after March 2009.
For a full list of changes to RubyGems and the contributor for each
change, see
the ChangeLog file.
Special thanks to Chad Wooley for backwards compatibility testing and
Luis
Lavena for continuing windows support.
== How can I get RubyGems?
NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may
want to
install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system.
If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all
you need to do is:
$ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root)
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no
rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of
update
instructions if you see "Nothing to update".
NOTE: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly
installed rubygems-update gems.
If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still
do it in two steps:
$ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root)
$ update_rubygems (... here too)
If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem
approach to getting software ... doing it manually:
1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)
== To File Bugs
The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575
When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the
issue.
If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output.
You can
do that with `gem --debug the_command`.
== Thanks
Keep those gems coming!
