[SOLVED] Ruby 1.9.2

Question

I can't get the new Ruby to work. It's ruby 1.9.2 from Extra. Here is what I get when I run gem:
[root@xhkr ruby]# gem
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/source_index.rb:68:in `installed_spec_directories': undefined method `path' for Gem:Module (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/source_index.rb:58:in `from_installed_gems'
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:883:in `source_index'

from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:841:in `block in searcher'
from <internal:prelude>:10:in `synchronize'

from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
from /usr/bin/gem:8:in `<main>'
I think the package is not correctly built, I don't understand why there is still 1.9.1 in the path.
I tried to remove the package, reinstall.. Same problem.
But with my PKGBUILD it works :

make

cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${_pkgver}"
make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

package_ruby-docs()
pkgdesc="Documentation files for ruby"
#arch=('any')
depends=('ruby')
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${_pkgver}"
make -j1 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install-doc
install -Dm644 COPYING "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/ruby-docs/COPYING"
The only difference is "--with-ruby-version=${_version}".
Has anyone the same problem with the pre-compiled package of Ruby ?
Edit : Working fine in my desktop box. So the Ruby from pacman is ok. Don't understand this strange behavior on my server. How can I remove *everything* from the ruby package, to try to reinstall it properly ?

Hi awkwood,
I probably should have clarified things a little more: I actually do get the same error message as the original poster. For instance, when I try to update gem as you suggested I get:
sudo gem update --system

When I tried using the above renaming fix, however, that is when I got the other error message in my above post.
I'm running ruby 1.9.2:
ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25 revision 30365) [i686-linux]
I'll try taking a look at the links you posted.
Thanks for the suggestions
Best,
Keith
