Errors when trying to update ruby gems from 2.0.1

Question

I am trying to set myself up on a mac to learn Ruby on Rails, however I seem to be having some problems. If I try to run commands such as ./script/server, i get this:

Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4 (you have 0.9.2). Please gem update --system and try again.

When I run "gem update.." I get this:

Updating RubyGems... Attempting remote update of rubygems-update ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES) Permission denied - /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/rubygems-update-1.3.0.gem

Any ideas how I can solve this?

sudo gem update --system
