I have ruby 2.0.0p247 [x64-mingw32] with Gem 2.2.2 installed on Windows 8. I have a persistent problem that makes it almost unusable. Whenever I try to install a new stone, I always get:
ERROR: While executing gem ... Invalid spec cache file in C:/Users/...
In the past, I managed to run gem updateor gem update --system, and that would fix the problem for one, single gem install . Subsequent installation will fail with the same error. Now even the gem update fails with this error message.
I tried to delete the directory users/.../.gem. When I do this, it gem updaterecreates this directory and quickly fails with the same error message.
I reinstalled ruby 1.9.8 with gems several times to try to cure the problem and then upgraded to ruby 2.0.0. In all reinstallations and updates, the problem persists.
I'm here. Can someone help me solve this problem?
