I have ruby 2.0.0p247 [x64-mingw32] with Gem 2.2.2 installed on Windows 8. I have a persistent problem gem that is making it virtually unusable. Whenever I try to install a new gem, I invariably get:
ERROR: While executing gem ... Invalid spec cache file in C:/Users/...
In the past, I've been able to run gem update or gem update --system and that would clear up the problem for one, single gem install. Subsequent install would fail with the same error. Now even gem update fails with that error message.
I've tried deleting the users/.../.gem directory. When I do that, gem update recreates that directory and promptly fails with the same error message.
I re-installed ruby 1.9.8 with gems several times to try to cure the problem, then upgraded to ruby 2.0.0. Throughout all re-installs and upgrades, the problem persisted.
I'm at my wits end here. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Here's the backtrace on the edit"

I had the same problem, but was able to fix it this way:
Delete the folder in users/%user%/.gem/ and rerun the command gem sources --update
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to use fastlane on Windows, which is installed from Bundler -- which is installed by Ruby Gem. But while running, some internal error of Ruby seems blocked the execution.
First, I went to Ruby Installer and installed Ruby+Devkit 3.0.2-1 (x64); then, I installed the Bundler and Fastlane using gem command. Error below happened when I was trying to execute them -- which I believed was not related to Bundler nor Fastlane:

I'm using Windows 10 home version 20H2.
Rebooting the computer doesn't solve the problem.
I tried googling the question, but it seems that problem hasn't be reported (or be answered). I don't know where I can report the bug either.
What can I do? Any help would be appreciated!
I had this same error when I tried running bundle exec fastlane in git bash.
I got it working by running it in powershell instead.
After failing to manage installing properly the Jekyll gem (website dev), the problem started out with pod install returning the infamous message described also in other questions on this site (when running pod install I get The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1, try updating but still in 0.31 and others)
[!] The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1 -
Update CocoaPods, or checkout the appropriate tag in the repo.

Running pod ver returns 0.29.0 even though I successfully installed 0.32.1.
I noticed that the above message points to the 0.29.0 install directory, which does not match the current installation directory (/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems)
I've run through all possible gem commands iterations but still can't come out on top of it (cleanup, uninstall, install, etc).
gem check returns the following:
xcodeproj-0.16.1.gem has 5 problems

Don't know if it relates.
Removing the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/ directory returns errors on any pod command.
Short of reinstalling the whole operating system(!)--which, tested on a fresh volume, proved solving the issue--can't figure this one out.
Any pointer?
It sounds like you may be using RVM and installing gems into a gemset. If that is the case, then it is possible for you to have multiple versions of the same gem installed on your system simultaneously.
If you want to update the system-wide gem, use sudo, e.g. sudo gem install cocoapods. If you want to update the RVM, exclude sudo, e.g. gem install cocoapods.
Also be sure that if you are using an RVM, you are not running pod install as root, either.
After installing RVM the other day I can no longer use compass watch as I could.
I've tried updating the system, installing compass again, as well as sass, all to no avail.
Here's the error I get in Terminal:

I've attempted to use bundle update sass-rails per this question, but get the error Could not locate Gemfile
I've also tried to follow the advise here to no avail.
At this point I'm a bit lost. I'm brand new to the Ruby world as well as RVM, and am not the most proficient Terminal user to begin with.
Thanks for any assistance or insight-
/Gemfile not found was a bug in older version of rubygems-bundler gem, run:
rvm #global do gem update rubygems-bundler
and it should work fine
I don't have the answer as to how to fix the problem itself, but I did go through with simply removing it for the time being.
I used rvm implode to remove rvm from my machine per this post.
Everything worked fine after that. Unfortunately that'll delay my experimenting with the Ruby world for a little while longer as I don't have time to figure out how to have RVM without the complications it seemingly brought.
Best,
I'm trying to setup a puppet node, but rubygems doesn't seem to behave.
If I run facter on the cli via it's own binary (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.8/bin/facter), it works fine, but if I run it through the binary installed by rubygems (/usr/bin/facter), it throws:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/uptime.rb:11: undefined method `get_uptime' for Facter::Util::Uptime:Module (NoMethodError)

from /usr/bin/facter:19:in `load'
from /usr/bin/facter:19
I've tried removing rubygems and reinstalling as well as reinstalling the gem, but nothing seems to work.
I'm assuming something is cached somewhere, because it throws the same error when I'm trying to run puppet.
Any ideas?
It looks like you may have installed facter outside of rubygems before installing it with rubygems.
You'll notice the final file in the stacktrace is /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/uptime.rb instead of being a file in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.8.
You should check if the files in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter are indeed just an older version of factor and if so, you should be able to delete them or move them to a differently named directory and it will fix your problems.
I’m a freshman on Ruby and now trying to install ruby on my machine according to the Tutorial on http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Tutorial
However, after I installed the ruby186-26, and run the command “gem update --system”, the following error occurred:

Meanwhile, we have tried this on other machines and the result turned out ok.
Thus, my question is why the error happened on my pc? Have you met this kind of error before?
this is caused by the version of ruby you are trying to install, which included an outdated version of rubygems that cannot auto-update itself.
since you are trying to install ruby on a windows machine, you need to get the installer from
http://rubyinstaller.org
get the latest patch release of whatever version you need - there is a 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.1 installer available.
once you have installed the right version from this site, you will be able to run gem update --system without any issues.
Execute Below command and its works
gem install hpricot --platform=mswin32
