I haven't had issues with it before, but now I am...I go to install
rubyzip via gems and I'm getting this on a fresh Debian box:

-> sudo gem install rubyzip
Attempting local installation of 'rubyzip'
Local gem file not found: rubyzip*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'rubyzip'
ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)
parse error on line 0, col 31: `!ruby/object:Gem::Specification '

Anyone know what's going wrong?

col 31 is at the end of that line. What's that blank space there?

BTW. Is rubyzip a pure Ruby lib or does it use a backend of some sort?

Thanks I tried that, but it's still giving me the same damn error.

subimage, any luck with this? I'm getting the same thing, on a WinXP
box. I tried clearing the cache, too, and still no luck...

i ran into this with ruby 1.8.2 but 1.8.4 worked fine installing it!
(tested with rubygems 8.whatever-last-versio and 9.0) under 1.8.2.
as soon as i put 1.8.4 on, the gem installed no problems.

I never did get it working, and I'm kind of locked into 1.8.2 as I'm
using it on all my Debian production servers :/

Anyone know a good way to upgrade to 1.8.4 when installed from apt-get?

Well, you might just install 1.8.4 into someplace like
/opt/ruby-1.8.4, and then use the equivs package to convince apt that
you indeed do have Ruby installed and don't need the default Ruby
available via apt-get.

Or you might just 'apt-get remove' everything Ruby on your system and
then manually install Ruby from source. Add RubyGems, and then 'gem
install' the rest of the stuff you need. Although this is a manual
process, it's pretty quick, so may be an option for you if you don't
have too many servers to worry about.

Odd. I just tried installing the gem myself (I'm the author) on an older
1.8.2 system and got the same error. I have no clue what the problem is,
but now I've rebuild the gem on the 1.8.2 system and uploaded it to
sourceforge.

Sorry about the inconvenience

and rubyforge so you should be able to get it with gem install rubyzip.

Cheers,
