It's a problem with your particular version of Rubygems. I just worked around it here. The amount of RAM you need for the bulk update depends on the amount of Gems you have installed. The easy solution is to upgrade to 1.3.0 or higher where bulk updating no longer happens. wget http://rubyforge.

What on earth could it be? Ruby version? Mine is 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux] I tried again latest (1.3.1) version and it behaves the same. It slowly eats memory until about 80% and then starts swapping heavily. Maybe that's simply the way it's supposed to be nowadays and one c

So what RAM size would you recommend? If 512MB is too little another tool is really needed, at least for those on low memory VPSs. Piotr On 24 Lis, 18:41, Frederick Cheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 24 Nov 2008, at 17:33, expilo wrote: > > > > > I got 512 MB. Maybe that's too little? I don

The only time I've run into anything similar is when my internet has either went *kaput* or a firewall setting at work stopped me from downloading any gems automatically. I would maybe check there first. On Nov 24, 8:15 am, expilo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have been trying for the
