some info about my system: ubuntu 8.10, ruby 1.8.3, rubygems 1.3.1
(installed from source)


Here are the gems I have and can't uninstall:

addressable (2.0.1)
cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0)
cheat (1.2.1)
daemons (1.0.10)
data_objects (0.9.10.1)
do_mysql (0.9.10.1)
extlib (0.9.9)
fastthread (1.0.1)
gem_plugin (0.2.3)
mongrel (1.1.5)


when I try this:
sudo gem uninstall cheat

I get this:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
Unknown gem cheat >= 0

thanks!

What is the output of "gem env"? I'm guessing that you have multiple gem
paths.

INSTALLATION DIRECTORY indicates where the gems will be installed and
uninstalled from.

Maybe 'cheat' gem installed in your home gem repository instead
(looking at GEM PATHS).

Please try:

gem uninstall cheat -i /home/oren/.gem/ruby/1.8

I've run into this issue myself. I'm not sure how you're "supposed" to solve
it, but I just make sure I install using sudo. Put this in your .bashrc:

alias gem-inst="sudo gem install"

Then install gems using, e.g.

gem-inst rails

Then all your gems will go in /usr/lib rather than ~/.gems.
