Re: Gem repository and/or local gem installation issues

I had to revert back to 0.9.0 to get gem to work again.  

Looks like there are a lot of issues w/0.9.2 at least. 
Maybe 0.9.1 as well on Win XP?

Any insight into the quality of 0.9.1/0.9.2.  

Thanks,
Wes

Does that sound right?

I've not had problems with it myself. BTW, what version of
Ruby?

In the past whenever I get bizarre errors from rubygems,
deleting the
source_cache often helps. 

Random guess: binary mode.
