That sounds more like a problem with your Internet connection than
anything else.
Can you visit rubyforge.org in your browser?

Hi have try to download the new version

$wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz

but still i am getting same error

unable to resolve rubyforge.org : Name or service could not be resolved
( Socket error)

Any ideas :)
Ubuntu has a package manager called Synaptic that I think should do this for
you. I've definitely installed Ruby through it, but that was so long ago
that I can't remember if it worked for rubygems.

The Rubygems-package for Ubuntu has some problems with it (or used to
have at least) so the best way is to install it from the source
directly.

The link you provide is reachable (even if it is an old version, as
pointed out previously). You are facing a DNS lookup issue.
