Means whatever gem you're trying to install does not exist in your
current working dir or in the standard repositories.

You'll need to install via
gem install some_gem http://some.server/path/to/some_gem

gem install --system
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
invalid option: --system

Use this and then try:

gem update --system

which specific gem you are trying to install ?

Thanks,

Perhaps your gem sources list is borked?
gem sources

Actually Gem installation need enough memory on your server/system and
Bandwidth.
or if it is not just download that gem and install specific.

gem install rails-2.0.2.gem,

Pls check:
i have install json like this.

gem install json

i just tried "gem install json-1.1.3.gem" but again..the error-message:
ERROR: could not find json-1.1.3.gem locally or in a repository

@remco first check your internet connection and firewall is it working and configured properly or not.
Coz the error "ERROR:  could not find json-1.1.3.gem locally or in a repository" it can because of internet connectivity........

And yes if you are on windows then defiantly you have to do N number of thing before installing json I guess you will need Visual c complier. Try to install gem install json_pure.
Jump into the linux environment. ;) ..
and upgrade ur gems

That will only work if you have a file called json-1.1.3.gem sitting
right there. To install over the network you need
gem install json
or gem install json --version=1.1.3

if you want that version (although as others have said you may not be
able to build the c extension required for that particular gem if you
don't have the appropriate version of visual studio installed)

I have json 1.1.3 locally on my machiene and i am trying to install
it,and it's giving an error:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

ERROR: Error installing d:\json-1.1.3.gem:

[MaD]

you're obviously on windows. have you installed nmake? did you add it
to your path-variable? it seems like it is not found on your machine.

Thanks for the reply.

Any hints how to do that?

[MaD]

i don't work on windows, but nmake can be found here:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/nmake15.exe

reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms930369.aspx

additionally i want to say, that i never used this program and i'm not
sure if you really need it, but form your output

> 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

it seems you should take a look at it.

[Ss Kk]

I have installed it from >
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/nmake15.exe
But still it's giving the same error

[MaD]

for your OS to find the programm you need to add it to your path
variable. look here (or google for it):
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm

this should be very easy. when you adjusted your path variable try to
invoke nmake from the command line to check if it is found correctly
(should then be possible from any folder).

[Ss Kk]

Path variable are already set,Can you tell me where i will get json
1.1.3 windows version?
