Rubygem 0.8.3 not working with 1.8.2

Hi

I just installed rubygems 0.8.3. The install appeared to
work without any errors, but the gem commands don't appear
to be working.

gem query --remote

It looks to me like you've been bitten by a 0.8.3 install bug. Could
you do me a favor and try installing 0.8.1 and then upgrading to 0.8.3
and see if it works?

Thanks,

That did the trick Chad. Thanks.
Other than the two installation issues I have had,
I think rubygems is one of the most powerful, yet
easy to use, installation packages I have seen
on any system.
