I've been trying to install this 'rubygame' gem for some time, but whenever I use the command
gem install rubygame
it will give an error:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubygame' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've also tried other gems but with similar results:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rake' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've already made sure I have an internet connection, and have already tried reinstalling both ruby and rubygems (currently using ruby 1.8, rubygems 1.7.2). Googling didn't help me at all. I would be very grateful if anyone can solve my problem. My sources list only shows http://rubygems.org
Check if you have "https://rubygems.org/" as a source to find gems at:
$ gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***
https://rubygems.org/
If not, you should be able to add it with
$ gem sources --add https://rubygems.org/
https://rubygems.org/ added to sources
Here are docs for the gem source command.
You can also add the source you want on the command whenever you have troubles using https, like this:
gem install GEMNAME --source http://rubygems.org
It's better to fix the SSL problem though.
are you behind any proxy?
check your browser for proxy that you might use:
execute the command: gem install xxx --http-proxy=http://user:password#server and you should be good to go.
You don't have an Internet connection to rubygems.org.
This happens sometimes if the site is down or blocked.
This command can show you if your connection has a way to reach rubygems.org:
traceroute rubygems.org
Maybe you should try
gem list -r
then
gem install -r rubygame
Also note that with rvmon MacosX (Lion in my case) you should install ruby-1.9.3-p194 (for Xcode 4.x compiler considerations) then
rvm rubygems current
and in my case I had to use
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194#global
(which contains bundler, rake, rubygems-bundlerand rvm)
and not
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194
(which is empty)
Can you post your versions?
ruby -v
#=> ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux]
gem -v
#=> 1.8.19
If your gem command is not current, you can update it like this:
gem update --system
To see if you can connect to rubygems.org using Ruby:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
puts Net::HTTP.get URI.parse('https://rubygems.org')
If yes, that's good.
If no, then somehow Ruby is blocked from opening a net connection. Try these and see if any of them work:
curl https://rubygems.org
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 1080
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 8080
env | grep -i proxy
If you're using a company machine, or within a company firewall, or running your own firewall, you may need to use a proxy.
For info on Ruby and proxies see
http://www.linux-support.com/cms/http-proxies-and-ruby/
I have fixed this issue using the proxy command option of gem install. It has the following format:
$ gem install --http-proxy http://201.187.107.19:8080 rubygame
Note, the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy. You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there.
This is site with proxies: http://www.cybersyndrome.net/pla5.html
Also, I have to try 7 or 8 different proxies in order to succeed. Do not give up.
Use :
gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/
Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn] [YES]
then use
gem install sass
and done
I know this is a little late, but I was also having this issue a while ago. This is what worked for me:
REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=1
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install rails
Hope this helps anyone else having this issue :)
I have tried most of the solutions suggested here but I had no luck.
I found a solution that worked for me, which was manually updating the gemfile to 2.6.7.
The guide on how to do is in guides.rubygems.org: installing-using-update-packages
Download rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem to your C:\
Now, using your Command Prompt:
C:\>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem
C:\>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc
After this, gem --version should report the new update version (2.6.7).
You can now safely uninstall rubygems-update gem:
C:\>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x
Removing update_rubygems
Successfully uninstalled rubygems-update-2.6.7
The reason why this did not work before was because server used certificates SHA-1, now this was updated to SHA-2.
For what it is worth I came to this page because I had the same problem. I never got anywhere except some IMAP stuff that I don't understand. Then I remembered I had uninstalled privoxy on my ubuntu (because of some weird runtime error that mentioned 127.0.0.1:8118 when I used Daniel Kehoe's Rails template, https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-application-templates [never discovered what it was]) and I hadn't changed my terminal to the state of no system wide proxy, under network proxy.
I know this may not be on-point but if I wound up here maybe other privoxy users can benefit too.
check your DNS settings ...I was facing similar problem ... when I checked my /etc/resolve.config file ,the name server was missing ... after adding it the problem gets resolved
This worked for me to bypass the proxy definitions:
1) become root
2) gem install -u gem_name gem_name
Hope you can work it out
I tried to install a gem which is for JRuby only, running into the same error. Using jruby's command worked then:
jruby -S gem install some_jruby_gem
If you are running behind the any firewall(if firewall blocking gem installation). just try following command it works.
gem install --http-proxy http://username:pwd#server:port gem
Make sure you type the command from the "App" Directory
It is a permission issue.
try with sudo

I just installed ruby version 2.3.0p0 using the ruby installer for windows and was trying to install bundler. When I run gem install bundler I get the following error:
Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>=0), here is why
Unable to download data from (link removed) rubygems -Errno:ETIMEDOUT:
Failed to open TCP connection to api.rubygems.org:443 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. -connect(2) for "api.rubygems.org" port 443)(https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
Some research led me to try running gem install --http-proxy http://[user]:[password]#[server]:[port] which i think might work because I am behind a proxy here and a similiar solution helped me clone a git repository earlier.
But when i tried this command I got the following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem:CommandLineError)
Please Specify at least one gem name (e.g. gem build GEMNAME)
UPDATE
So I tried that gem install --http-proxy.... command again with the gem name at the end and I am back to getting the original TCP connection error above. I am pretty sure the login information I entered is correct. I also added --source http://... instead of the https one but still am having the same problem?
1st off your error is pretty telling-
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem:CommandLineError) Please Specify
at least one gem name (e.g. gem build GEMNAME)
2nd make sure you have met the requirements for what you're trying to do http://bundler.io/
then run the code..
gem install bundler
bundle init
echo 'gem "rspec"' >> Gemfile
bundle install
bundle exec rspec
In 2023, the best way to install bundler on an old version of Ruby is:
gem update --system
RubyGems and Bundler now ship together, so to get the latest bundler, you should just install the latest RubyGems.
would you try disable ipv6, it had been worked for me

What should I do guys? I've been reading so many forums and other webpages, but none of them gave me a solution to that.
Additional information: Windows 7 (x64), Ruby 2.1.6 (actually I had installed Ruby 2.2, but I found in some forums that this issue can fixed just back to and old version of Ruby). I use a proxy to connect me to Internet.

So the important information that you shared in your comments (you're behind a proxy) means that you will have to set some environment variables in order to use rubygems through the proxy.
In cmd.exe use:
set http_proxy=http://user:password#proxy_ip:port
or in PowerShell:
$env:http_proxy=http://user:password#proxy_ip:port
There was a case where that format didn't work and a different format had to be used:
http_proxy = proxy_ip:port
http_proxy_user = user
http_proxy_pass = password
Domain Users:
Try without the Domain prefix first, unless you know that the default Domain isn't set or that your Domain isn't the default.
Using a Domain User Login and the domain\user format, the \ must be replaced using its percent-encoding equivalent counterpart: %5C.
http://domain%5Cuser:password#proxy_ip:port
It looks like rubygems.org was having problems around the time you posted this question.
However, it should be fixed now.
I have installed Ruby on my system, and now I want to install Compass. But when I execute the gem install compass command, it shows an error like this:
could not find valid gem 'compass' <>=0> in any repositary
And also:
SocketError: getadressinfo: no such host is known.<http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz>
I don't know what the problem is. If I run ruby -v, it shows the Ruby version. So what's the problem with installing Compass?
Can anyone explain this to me properly? I've searched Google, but all I could find was some proxy problem - and I couldn't understand how to set the proxy at all.
I'm using Windows and a company internet connection, so I don't know the username and password of my proxy.
I was behind a proxy and HumberFrench's solution above helped:
Go to Ruby bin folder:
cd c:/Ruby193/bin
And then install compass gem:
gem install compass --http-proxy http://<proxy_adreess>:<port_of_proxy>
Another tip: am on Aptana Studio, so this could be run from within Aptana's terminal.
Cant up-vote so adding this here.
I had the same problem, finally solved it manually.
Goto the rubygems compass page, and download the gem by clicking the Download link. Scroll down and you will see three Runtime Dependencies. Goto each of them and download those gems also. Put all of them in a directory, and try
gem install downloaded_compass_filename
This should solve your problem.
If it gives an repository not found error message, you can force gem to try local files through the gem --local install option
if you use a proxy, and get error, do it
gem install compass --http-proxy http://<proxy_adreess>:<port_of_proxy>
gem install -h gives you a lor of options
The proxy is the most likely cause. You will have to get permission from the network admin, or manually download compass. For more info, See this SA post.
If you decide to go the manual route here is a link to the RubyGems compass page. This not ideal, but also better than having to write css without compass magic ^^
Good luck!
On windows i had a few instalations of ruby:
C:\ruby187
and
C:\Ruby200-x64
install compass in both places, using:
gem install compass
Try running the install command in the bin folder.
$ cd C:\Your_Ruby_Folder\bin
$ gem install compass
I have same problem and i resolve it with.
Uninstall ruby end deleted folder ruby
Download ruby version 1.9.x
After thet install sass
last stem: install compass
I need to install win32-api and antlr3 on a computer without internet connection. Had it such a connection, I'd use gem like so:
gem install win32-api -r
gem install antlr3 -r
This won't obviously work. So, I thought there should be a way to download the gem and install it later, but I am not sure how I would proceed.
I found gem's which operator, which seemd to indicate the local location of a gem:
c:\>gem which antlr3
c:/tools/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/antlr3-1.8.8/lib/antlr3.rb
however, it didn't work on win32-api:
c:\>gem which win32-api
ERROR: Can't find ruby library file or shared library win32-api
although I have previously installed it.
Can someone hint at the right direction to go on from here?
Try,
gem install --local path/to/file.gem
I had some problems with this on a VM. The VM intentionally did not have Internet access (sneaker-net test machine) but it still had some DNS servers configured.
For example:
$ gem install bundler-1.7.7.gem --local
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENETUNREACH)
Network is unreachable - sendto(2) for "192.168.1.10" port 53
192.168.1.10 is the DNS server that VirtualBox configured. So what I had to do is comment out /etc/resolv.conf with ; at the beginning of all the lines. Even leaving in Google DNS would break it.
; /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8 ; nope. gem install --local doesn't like it
; You will get a Network is unreachable - sendto(2) for "8.8.8.8" port 53
If you comment out all of /etc/resolv.conf then you can install gems locally (from a file) it seems.
$ gem install bundler-1.7.7.gem --local

For Mac OSX the solution that worked for me was:
sudo gem install rubygems-update --source http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
sudo gem update --system --source http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
It comes from some file on github of all places.
Try reinstalling rubygems from scratch here: http://rubygems.org/pages/download
RubyForge has been deprecated and may no longer be working properly. The other possibility is that when you tried to do this rubyforge or gemcutter was down, or otherwise not accessible over your network. You can also try seeing if you can reach the file on rubygems by entering it in your browser (to test your network): http://gemcutter.org/specs.4.8.gz
This question has previously been asked here: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:. It appears the problem was that rubyforge was blocked by China's firewall.
Good luck!
