Can you post your versions   ruby -v    gt  ruby 1 9 3p125  2012-02-16 revision 34643   x86 64-linux   gem -v    gt  1 8 19   If your gem command is not current  you can update it like this   gem update --system   To see if you can connect to rubygems org using Ruby   require  net http  require  uri  puts Net  HTTP get URI parse  https   rubygems org     If yes  that s good   If no  then somehow Ruby is blocked from opening a net connection  Try these and see if any of them work   curl https   rubygems org  curl https   rubygems org --local-port 1080  curl https   rubygems org --local-port 8080  env   grep -i proxy   If you re using a company machine  or within a company firewall  or running your own firewall  you may need to use a proxy   For info on Ruby and proxies see http   www linux-support com cms http-proxies-and-ruby

Maybe you should try  gem list -r   then  gem install -r rubygame   Also note that with rvmon MacosX  Lion in my case  you should install ruby-1 9 3-p194  for Xcode 4 x compiler considerations  then   rvm rubygems current   and in my case I had to use   rvm use ruby-1 9 3-p194 global    which contains bundler  rake  rubygems-bundlerand rvm   and not   rvm use ruby-1 9 3-p194    which is empty

I have fixed this issue using the proxy command option of gem install  It has the following format     gem install --http-proxy http   201 187 107 19 8080 rubygame   Note  the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy  You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there   This is site with proxies  http   www cybersyndrome net pla5 html  Also  I have to try 7 or 8 different proxies in order to succeed  Do not give up

For what it is worth I came to this page because I had the same problem  I never got anywhere  except some IMAP stuff that I don t understand  Then I remembered I had uninstalled privoxy on my ubuntu  because of some weird runtime error that mentioned 127 0 0 1 8118 when I used Daniel Kehoe s Rails template  https   github com RailsApps rails3-application-templates  never discovered what it was   and I hadn t changed my terminal to the state of no system wide proxy  under network proxy   I know this may not be on-point but if I wound up here maybe other privoxy users can benefit too

I have tried most of the solutions suggested here but I had no luck  I found a solution that worked for me  which was manually updating the gemfile to 2 6 7  The guide on how to do is in guides rubygems org  installing-using-update-packages     Download rubygems-update-2 6 7 gem to your C        Now  using your Command Prompt    C   gt gem install --local C  rubygems-update-2 6 7 gem C   gt update rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc       After this  gem --version should report the new update version  2 6 7        You can now safely uninstall rubygems-update gem    C   gt gem uninstall rubygems-update -x Removing update rubygems Successfully uninstalled rubygems-update-2 6 7   The reason why this did not work before was because server used certificates SHA-1  now this was updated to SHA-2

You can also add the source you want on the command whenever you have troubles using https  like this   gem install GEMNAME --source http   rubygems org   It s better to fix the SSL problem though
