Broken gems uninitialized constant Gem::CommandManager (Nam

ruby-talk

I am a ruby newbie. Somehow (I suspect with a gem update command) I have
broken
gems on my mac (running leopard).

Now if I use any gem command I get the same error

Macintosh:~ dtilley$ gem query --remote
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:18:in `initialize':
uninitialized constant Gem::CommandManager (NameError)
  from /usr/local/bin/gem:22:in `new'
  from /usr/local/bin/gem:22

1) Has anybody seen this?
2) Do I need to uninstall gems and reinstall it?

Thanks

Dave

The proper syntax

gem query -n <gemname> --remote

Looks like you're using an older `gem` executable with a newer RubyGems runtime.

Also, your paths don't match. RubyGems would install `gem` into /usr/bin when installing into /usr/lib/. Try /usr/bin/gem. If that works, remove /usr/local/bin/gem. It must be a relic from an alternate install.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up reinstalling gems and now things
work.
