Hi folks,
If any of you are not aware of the power and ease of use of RubyGems,
then you might find the following introduction entertaining and
useful. It covers all the important operations, but is short enough
to read right through.

I’m running WinXP 1.8 ruby and get this error.
C:\ruby\gems\rubygems-0.2.0>gem --remote -list
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/remote_installer.rb:78:in
find_latest_v alid_package_in_caches': Could not find -list > 0.0.0 (RuntimeError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/remote_installer.rb:15:in
install’
from c:/ruby/bin/gem:74
C:\ruby\gems\rubygems-0.2.0>
What did i do wrong ?
The install went smoothe…Which remote server
am i accessing?
Also, when i tried --remote-list, like it looks on the page of course i
get an error because a space is necessary --remote -list(for people who
dont know about options like me)
Also, on http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Quick_Introduction,
a couple typos.
Searching re>mr< Ruby platform!
I notice the paths(\ to /) are different. does c:/ === c:\ ?
Seems cool, i’d like to check it out, so clue me.
Fantastic! Thanks for this, Gavin S. This was exactly the sort of thing
I needed to stop ignoring this blossoming tool and figure out what it’s
all about.

Did you get the CVS version of RubyGems? The latest CVS version has been
refactored to make the --remote/–local destinction orthoganal to the
other options. So you would need to say …
gem --remote --list
(Notice the two dashes on the list option).
Give that a try.

try:

for some reason --remote-list doesn’t seem to be working for me, but
search does, and most gems have some letter from [0-z] in their name.

Do you have the CVS version or the released version? What does ‘gem
–help’ say? What does ‘gem --list’ do?
NOTE: everybosy who is currently using RubyGems please take a quick
look at
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?NewVsOldInterface
It will clear up some of this confusion.

It certainly does. The released version doesn’t support ‘–remote --list’,
which explains why it didn’t work for me.
Thanks for your help, Gavin.

Hello, I tried
gem --remote --list
gem --remote -list
gem --remote-list
The last gives me an invalid option error.
No big deal, i’ve got other fires to put out for now.
Thanks,paul
