Make sure you type the command from the  App  Directory

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

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

Check if you have  https   rubygems org   as a source to find gems at     gem sources     CURRENT SOURCES      https   rubygems org    If not  you should be able to add it with    gem sources --add https   rubygems org  https   rubygems org  added to sources   Here are docs for the gem source command

This worked for me to bypass the proxy definitions   1  become root  2  gem install -u gem name gem name  Hope you can work it out

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

You don t have an Internet connection to rubygems org    This happens sometimes if the site is down or blocked   This command can show you if your connection has a way to reach rubygems org   traceroute rubygems org

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
