i am getting error while truing to install watir
C:>gem install watir
ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'watir' (>= 0) in any repository
C:>gem -v
1.3.7
C:>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32]
Try
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
and then
gem install watir
One line solution (since I can't vote yet):
gem install watir --source http://gems.github.com
That looks like a proxy problem. Use http_proxy environment variable to setup a tunnel, or download the gems manually from rubygems.
I found this post useful in setting the http_proxy value and then installing.
How do I update Ruby Gems from behind a Proxy (ISA-NTLM)
Looks like this is an old post - but there was nothing marked as the answer :)
