I am also trying to update for watir (I just installed Ruby) and I am
getting another error:

>gem install watir -v 1.5.4
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404

I cannot figure out what I haven't done properly and would love a hand!

I don't think you've done anything wrong. This error seems to indicate that
the gem server is unavailable at the moment. If you try again, it should
work.

You might also want to consider using Watir 1.5.6, which is the latest.

Hm, shouldn't that be "gem install watir -v=1.5.4" ?

Thanks for the suggestions Bret and Tom. I tried those modifications
today, but still got the same error.

>gem install watir -v=1.5.6
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404

>gem install watir -v 1.5.6
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404

What do you think?

What happens if you just type "gem install watir"?

Is it possible that your access to the gem server is being blocked by a
firewall?

Hi Bret,

> What happens if you just type "gem install watir"?

I get exactly the same error.

> Is it possible that your access to the gem server is being blocked by a
> firewall?

I have played around with firewall setting that make no difference
locally. The administrator for the network I am on when using Unix (I
am using Windows now) tells me to check if the server is still on and
matches the gem version I am using, which brings me back to square
one...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Natalie

What if you browse to this URL?

http://gems.rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk/gems/watir...

That should pull the gem file directly off that gem mirror...

Yours,

Hello, still me...

>Are you able to install any other gems?

I tried this and get the same thing:

>gem install ParseTree
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 404

I also get the same error when I type
>gem update --system
as well as several other commands (which need the internet I guess).

Tom, for that url, where should should I be putting the file (right now
it I've stuck it in ~/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems ), and what do I do
with it? I have tried untarring it, but I end up with two other
archived files data.tar.gz and metadata.gz. Also, I get the message for
both files, "implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 00:00:00".

Thanks very much for your help!

Natalie

Put the file in any directory - e.g., your home directory - and then
install it with:

sudo gem install --local watir-1.5.6.gem

Of course, there are a few dependencies, and you'll need to fetch those
from the mirrors as well...

Yours,

tom

OK, I'll try that.
