Summary: "gem update --system" breaks rubygems under Windows XP using
"mingw32-ruby-1.9.1-wxruby-2.0.0-setup.exe"
Initial Comment:
I have a Ruby installation with wxRuby on Windows XP using this installer:
mingw32-ruby-1.9.1-wxruby-2.0.0-setup.exe
I typed
gem -v
and found out that I was rubygems 1.3.1. So I typed:
gem update --system
This was the result:
---begin---
Updating RubyGems

lib/rubygems
/gem_runner.rb:8:in `<top (required)>'
from setup.rb:25:in `require'
from setup.rb:25:in `<main>'
RubyGems system software updated
--end--
Now, when I type
gem -v
I get this:
---begin---
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rubygems-update-1.3.5/lib/rubygems/
config_file.
rb:39:in `new': wrong number of arguments (5 for 4) (ArgumentError)

lib/rubygems

from c:/ruby/bin/gem.bat:17:in `require'
from c:/ruby/bin/gem.bat:17:in `<main>'
---end---
Does this mean I have broken rubygems on mingw32 by typing "gem update
--system"? Typing
"gem search wxruby-ruby19 --remote"
or trying to install a gem - any gem - gives me the same argument
error.
Since rubygems was unusable, I uninstalled and reinstalled Ruby, using rubygems
1.3.1 for the time being. So this bug is not "lethal".
Kind regards,
Rainer
