When I try to execute 'sudo gem cleanup' on OS X 10.5, I get the message:
Attempting to uninstall rails-1.2.6
ERROR: While executing gem . . . (Gem:InstallError)
Unknown gem rails = 1.2.6
How can I fix this so gem cleanup will continue to completion?
Thanks,
Ken
I've been having this problem as well and I thought I was the only
one! I get exactly the same error on my iMac running osx 10.5.5, I've
also got xcode 3.1.1 installed in case it matters, although I should
mention that I'm getting this problem after a clean install of my
system too.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks.

You can search for the offending gem with
%gem list -d sqlite3
On OS X you will get back something akin to
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
sqlite3-ruby (1.2.4, 1.2.1)
Author: Jamis Buck
Homepage: http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/sqlite3
Installed at (1.2.4): /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
(1.2.1):
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
SQLite3/Ruby is a module to allow Ruby scripts to interface with a
SQLite3 database.
You may now uninstall the offending gem with
%gem uninstall --install-dir
System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
sqlite3
So, in general
gem list -d <gem-name>
will get you the location of the gem, and
gem uninstall --install-dir </install/directory> <gem-name>
will uninstall the gem.

Thanks.
the solution is to ignore it. those gems are installed by apple as "system" gems. They stay when you run cleanup. the real error is how ugly and uninformative it is about it, but apple didn't provide those patches 
we'll get to it sooner or later. (guess which one)

That doesn't work though. You can't ignore it - gem cleanup aborts as soon as it happens, leaving all the other gems left as-is.
