I suggest you grab the tgz from here:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/60718/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz

unarchive it, then run "sudo ruby setup.rb"

What is your "ruby -v" info? Also, can you run it like this:

sudo ruby setup.rb --debug

Then paste the output somewhere

What is your "ruby -v" info?

same as in gem env above

ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.10.1]

sudo ruby setup.rb --debug

Then paste the output somewhere

here it is...

so in setup_command.rb commented out the code in...

def check_ruby_version
required_version = Gem::Version.new '1.8.3'

    #unless Gem.ruby_version > required_version then
    # alert_error "Ruby version > #{required_version} required, is
#{Gem.ruby_version}"
    # terminate_interaction 1
    #end
end

tried again...

I could go on hacking it, but willing to listen to suggestions first

Whoah! How'd you load up your system RubyGems?

setup.rb re-exec's itself if it see RUBYOPT is set to load installed RubyGems, but it seems that you're escaping this check somehow.

After the three require 'rubygems' in setup.rb can you add:

p $", $:

I'd like to see where/how your installed rubygems is getting loaded.
