What happens when I get this "HTTP Response 403" error?
I am trying to configure Ruby on Rails on OS X 10.5.8 using Xcode 3.1.4:
Boston:$ ruby
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]
Boston:$ gem
1.0.1
Boston:$ sudo gem update
Password:
Updating RubyGems...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 403 fetching http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml
Boston:$ sudo gem install rubygems-update
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 403 fetching http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml
I cannot find one specific link online for error 403 in OS X. I tried to add alternative source repositories and I get the same error.
Solution based on @Phil's answer
I downloaded rubygems-1.3.5.zip from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 and unzipped the file.
Then I cd'd to the rubygems-1.3.5 directory and ran
Boston:rubygems-1.3.5$ sudo ruby setup.rb
RubyGems 1.3.5 installed
Thanks @Phil!
