Upgrading rubygems on Ubuntu

Maybe it’s me.  Maybe it’s a feature of ubuntu, but on two separate systems, when I went to upgrade rubygems to the latest via

gem update –system

it didn’t work for me.  So, I had to go the more extreme route of:

gem install rubygems-update
updatee_rubygems

This is mostly for my own reference, it’s not the first time I’ve had to do so…..

    I think this happens in every OS with the latest version of RubyGems (1.3.1)—we’ve needed to do the same thing on OSX here in the office. http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=28071

    Yup… had the same problem setting up my slice at slicehosts.

    Thanks for the skills!
