RubyGems 1.3.7 doesn’t play nice with OSX 1.5.8

If you ever run into this pain in the butt error, hopefully this’ll save you some time:

Installing a gem without the version works fine; installing a gem using “-v 2.x.x” or whatever version you like ends in:
spec_fetcher.rb:254: warning: getc is obsolete; use STDIN.getc instead

I don't think this is the way to do this anymore.

Thanks for posting it, I gave it a try but it didn't work.

I think now the way to go is:

rvm rubygems 1.3.5

You are correct - I had to do this today and your way worked. Apparently this is a new-ish feature. :)

Thanks!
