[Q] Rubygems

[Iki]

Hello everybody

I am trying to install packages through rubygems
but I keep getting the following error message:

gem list -p http://<<proxy_name>>:<<prox_port>> --remote

-->** REMOTE GEMS ***
-->ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
--> HTTP redirection loop: http://rubyforge.org/yaml

ruby --version

-->ruby 1.8.1 (2004-02-19) [i386-mingw32]

I 've googled for it but I didn't get anywhere.
Any clues/links?

BTW does anybody have a precompiled binary of ruby-sqlite
for mingw?

Thanks

Hi. This is due to a bug in open-uri on Ruby 1.8.1. Can you try with the
latest Ruby stable snapshot?

Thanks,
