When I run ...
sudo gem install rails -y
I get ...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)
install directory "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/./gems/activesupport-1.4.0" not absolute
The directory /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/gems/activesupport-1.4.0 does exist.
Any suggestions on what I need to change?
I don't know why the "/./" appears in the path in the error message.

My guess is that you, like me, are running gem version 0.9.1. After I
upgraded to 0.9.1 this weekend (via gem update --system), I now get
this error anytime I tried to freeze my rails app.
But I'm on Windows XP -- maybe this is specific to the Windows version
of RubyGems. What OS are you using?
What does `gem environment` report?
Did you set GEM_HOME or similar?

That's right. I did exactly that.

I'm on Mac OS X, so it's not specific to Windows.

RubyGems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.1 (0.9.1)
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/.
- GEM PATH:
- /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/.
- REMOTE SOURCES:
- http://gems.rubyforge.org
I see that it put "/." at the ends of the paths. It doesn't seem like that should be an issue though.

No. Do I need to do that?

You're missing 1.8 in that path (or 1.9).
What does this say:
ruby -rrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["ruby_version"]'
I get "1.8".
I get ".".
How did you install your ruby?
I downloaded ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz, then ran the following commands as root, running on Mac OS X.
gzip –d ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz
tar xf ruby-1.8.5.tar
cd ruby-1.8.5
./configure
make
make test
make install
make install-doc

That's bad.

Hrm, something has gone tragically wrong then. Without the version numbers RubyGems can't be guaranteed to work. I recommend you rebuild ruby.
BTW, what does this say:
$ ruby -v -e 'p RUBY_VERSION'
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-04 patchlevel 2) [i686-darwin8.8.2]
"1.8.5"

The only difference from yours is that I have darwin8.8.1 instead of 8.8.2.
I'll try reinstalling Ruby.
