Please change directory into one of the gem installation directories:

cd c:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1

And try yo create a file there:

ruby -rfileutils -e "FileUtils.touch 'foobar'"

Repeat the same process with the second directory shown by gem env (C:/
Users/Matt/.gem/ruby/1.9.1)

If you or Ruby cannot write to these directories, it will fail.

If you installed Ruby with administrative privileges and you're not a
member of Administrator group, then you're hitting a permission issue.

I would recommend setting GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables
to a different place (one that you have control) and try installation
again.

Also, please remove gemcutter from your gem sources:

gem sources -r http://gemcutter.org

As Gemcutter is now gems.rubyforge.org

Hopefully not to confuse the issue, but depending on one's requirements
there are significant benefits from using 1.9.x or 1.9.2 on windows.

1.9.x provides, for the first time in FOREVER on windows ruby, a popen()
that only blocks its own thread, rather than the whole process.

And 1.9.2 provides Unicode path support on windows. (Last I checked,
Unicode path support was only partially implemented so far in 1.9.2,
but they're working on it.)

Both a non-process-blocking popen() and Unicode path support are critical
to my current application, so 1.9.2 is a must for me on Windows.

Thankfully, so far I've found it relatively simple to build ruby from
the command line using the Microsoft compiler. (Haven't tried the MinGW
route, but I presume it's at least as well-behaved.)


Regards,

Bill

I am using the installer from Rubyforge.

I did what you suggested but when running list I still show no gems.
Weird...

I have tried all of your suggestions and the problem persists. I was
able to write in those directories (not a permissions problem), and
changing the gem path/home yielded the same result.

I am really baffled as this WAS working yesterday until I had issues
with a gem called cucumber.

Any suggestions? I am really stumped here.

I'll build a new package with the one from Rubyforge on Win 7 and see if
I encounter any similar issues. Provide me a short list of gems you
were trying to install as well. I'll post my results.
